I dunno, King Felix in 39-36 in 104 career starts. Is it gonna get any better this year? Seattle will be awful again. Just my 2 cents, but I'm not crazy about the deal.

please help...viewtopic.php?t=371129

Felix is so up and down all year ,you might as well stick with Joba abd take your chances with him. But to gie him Fuentes also? No way do I do this deal

I don't care for the deal either. Giving up both Joba and Fuentes is too much. Fuentes could easily be one of the better closers this year. It is obvious that the Angels give plenty of chances and Fuentes could benefit a lot from that. I am not saying he will get 60+ saves but you would kick your self if he go 40.

Keep Joba. He has almost as much upside as Felix IMO and plays for a better offense. You add Fuentes to the equation, and it's clear you need to keep both.

Way too much value to give up. Like everyone else has said, Fuentes can be one of the better closers in the league, and Felix is no guarantee to hugely better than Joba in my eyes.

Agree with everyone else on this. Stay away from this deal unless you can get saves back. Joba and Felix aren't that far apart, no reason to throw Fuentes in the mix.
