Unfortunately he was way too good this season and therefore be way overpriced for me in a keeper league. Smart thing would be to let someone else pay for him.

He's suppose to be for real though. As far as I know, he's about as touted as Prior was, but wasn't in a media-loved market.

I'd say for a keeper I'd have him behind the usual suspects (Prior, Johan, Pedro), plus Peavy, Halladay, and Zamby, but in front of Willis, Kazmir, Myers, and Carp. Basically, just below top-tier for a keeper.

After what he did this year, he really has nowhere to go but down IMO.

You have Brett Myers as a top keeper? Im not disagreeing but many people seem to under-rate Myers' ability as a top notch starter in the future. I really think next year he'll have a Ben Sheets 04' type season.

I disagree. I don't believe Felix has shown us his best. He is as likely as any other young player to fulfill his potential. Depending on your strategy I rate him second only to Johan to fourth behind Johan, Pedro and Willis.

Don't forget about Buehrle, Harden, Beckett and Oswalt as keepers.

in a keeper, you have to look at felix probably going before the 5th round or so.... he will be in the 2nd pitching run that includes carp, willis, beckett, harden, and others......

No Halladay? :-?
