Do you think Felix will pick it up?

[Don G.]

well i have the privelege of being in a points only league so yesterday...even with his balooned up ERA and 7 ER's he got me the win and 9 points

that being said, i picked him in the 6th round

why you would ever outright drop him is beyond me but to each their own....

I've got him on my staff as well - I would love to just keep him on the bench until he gets his act together, but unfortunately our roster sizes are rediculously small - I just don't have the room for that.

Some clown in my league just dropped Joe Nathan. I put in a waiver claim for him with Felix as the one to drop. If that goes through, I'll be fine with it.

My staff as it is consists of Halladay, Webb, Lackey, Escobar, Liriano, Patterson (DL) and Felix, with Ray and Fuentes as my closers. I need a third closer to be competitive in saves, so here's to it.

He is a FA in my league....

As a Felix owner in a fairly deep keeper league, I think a brief minor league stint for a month or so would be more than beneficial right now. I don't know if its mental, physical or freaking spiritual with him right now, all I know is he isn't doing himself any good taking the poundings that he has of late.

And ENOUGH with these ridiculous excuses already from the Mariners organization, the kid was rushed and still needs some grooming....I don't wanna hear about mechanical flaws and tipping pitches!!!

This nonsense spewing from their mouthes is almost Ed Wade-esque

from what i have read about Felix there is some concern that him and his catcher johijima are having a hard time communicating

i read his Japanese catcher is big on the changeup and offspeed stuff while Felix wants to bring the heat, if they can learn to get over the language barrier i think he will be back in form

[Mr. Baseball]

dump him he is not a keeper you can find better on the waiver wire on a weekly basis

I hear the same thing, and notice Felix throwing the change early in the count rather than setting it up with the good fastball.
Rotowire reports he sprained his ankle in the third inning Sunday and didn't say anything until he came out of the game...
I'm still in a quandary about him, I have him and Duke and both need to be on the bench right now. I'm sick of getting lit in ERA and WHIP every single week.
Rest of staff, yeah I know the Pen's weak:

B. Penny
J. Peavy
RP D. Báez
RP T. Jones
M. Timlin (Holds is a cat)
Z. Duke
C. Carpenter
F. Hernández

DL R. Harden

I dunno what to do, I suppose nothing for now is an option.

Your Pen is weak?? You have Harden Carpenter and Peavy and Penny is playing lgihts out right now. If Felix comes around then you are set.

jdsun - We're looking at the Pen a different way - I'm talking relievers only(Baez, Jones) - like to add a stud closer, Baez not long for the fantasy world.

I see. Well hopefully you can get a Stud rookie coming up or get Bonser for the meantime. As for your relievers keep an eye on Guardado and Coffey.

Liriano going against Hernandez by the way this friday. I got both hopefully its a low scoring affair.
