Felix Hernandez is only 25 and they have some studs to bring up yet. I think both teams won. That might change, but right now it's fine.
There was at least one other pitcher the Mariners didn't want to give up. I think that's what killed it.Originally Posted by Elpablo21
Why didnt we just get rid of Cliff Lee last year for Montero?
That feels so #!% backwards

That, and by adding a huge bat, Felix doesn't have to keep being perfect every night. Dude goes out every start knowing he can't give up more than one or two runs. If that keeps up, he's never going to stick around. Maybe not the greatest deal in the world, but if the M's don't pick up a huge bat, they risk losing Felix down the road just out of sheer frustration.Originally Posted by 651akathePaul

Exactly how I feel. Maybe it could have been handled more efficiently, but if they didn't get a big bat in the lineup soon, not only would Pineda have been useless, but also the peak of Felix's career.
Yes, the one year that he has in his career he's been a flyball pitcher. Next year will be a sort of a reality check to during the first half of the season but he's 22, he'll adjust. His FB does need a touch of work but his FB lcoation and secondary pitches are that good. This is a kid who at 22 had a top 5 swing & miss percentage in MLB. He has an incredible command of the strike zoneOriginally Posted by grusumm18
actually, they understand that pine's fb doesnt move and up to this point in his career, hes a flyball pitcher
that worked great in safeco...not so much in ur ll park
