I don't know about that. Arod walked, he wasn't traded. RJ tanked it. Griffey whined to get out, basically forcing a deal. Edgar never was moved, or Buhner, or Ichiro, or Felix.

No pressure on him, pitching for a bad team. Let him get a feel for the bigs, so he can learn what it takes. A 2 month trial is good imo. I prefer it over throwing a newbie out in April.
Felix has pretty much got his fill of AAA. He needed a bigger challenge. A 19 year old (class A) age, posting a league best 2.25 era, with a .196 BAA, in a heavy hitters league (PCL), against (24-25) years old, proved he is ready for a bigger challenge.

LOL! It's tough to be a sleeper when your nickname is "King Felix" and fantasy owners have whipped themself into a frenzy merely by your first call-up into the bigs
I disagree 100%, when he comes up and posts 80 IP of 5.00 ERA most people will be turned off of him and he'll slide way down on their draft list. He will most definitely be a good sleeper next year unless he way outproduces what I expect for him on the year. Complete studs who are brought up to the majors too early make some of the best sleepers, since they have almost sure thing talent but they put up complete dud stats and people get scared off.

It's too early.

Yup, i believe so, i really hope noone uses their waiver priority on this guy. Mine is 7, i hope i get him.
Mine is 11, We will see if I have any chance..
HAHA that is like no chance unless only 3 people in your league check and their waiver priorities are 12, 13 and 14 . I dont think ill get hernadez anyway. I guess ill just wait for the Lastings Milledge call up next year, o wait for that.
