Why does everyone want Felix?
-
I hate using stubs on starting pitchers so I will take him.
-
You don't mess with the king man. I lived in Portland for a bit and I couldn't get Giants games broadcast up there so I could only watch the Mariners and I became a fan. Whenever he'd pitch the stadium would just feel more electric and into his presence like they were under his spell. I developed a respect for him because of it and really hope he is the last boss pick and it's a high rated version of him.
-
How is Hal a meta pitcher? He’s a free 98.
“Meta” pitcher would be... anyone with a sinker...
-
He's always been pretty terrible in the game, his pitches have always been the same speed and he's been really easy to hit in the past
-
Cuz he has a sinker so it can be spammed

He was basically the lone bright spot for them since he was a rookie in 2005. It actually makes me angry knowing the M's basically wasted his prime years when he was loyal and awesome for them. I hope he bounces back to at least a serviceable 4 or and gets to make the playoffs with the Braves.

I've always enjoyed Felix IRL. I'm not a competitive online player, so the meta doesn't mean anything to me. I'll probably buy Ellsbury since I love the Red Sox. But I mean, how could you not pick King Felix?
-
Felix confirmed

This was me with Rafael Palmeiro

I imagine hes the only one that will be desirable, but most people will be selling their picks. So, probably going to be cheap bosses for this inning.

My favorite player when I was young was Kid Nichols. When I saw him pitch as a rookie, it reminded me of my long-forgotten youth. Later in life, I became disillusioned with the flashy modern-day theatrics of players like Grover Cleveland Alexander and Nap Lajoie. When I first saw Jim O’Rourke animatedly grab his crotch while staring down Mordecai Brown, I knew the game I remembered from my youth was gone forever.

Ah, indeed! Kid Nichols was quite the prim looking stargazer I do recall! He made this new game of base and ball look like duck soup, I say!

I'll use him, my rotation isn't crazy anyway

At least the people mentioned are all Hall of Famers. Good story though lol.

I want to see that Torre card before deciding on King Felix.

Don't sleep on Nap Lajoie.

Mainly because no one wants ellsbury or torre

I dont want to take him, but I'd rather take him than Torre and Elsberry.
