Yankees fans of all people should know how good Felix was last year. He DOMINATED the Yankees last year, who by the way, had the best offense in the league which brings up the point that "chocolate cake" never had to face that lineup and Felix never got the benefit of getting to face the...
He dominated the league in innings pitchdd even without that meaningless start under his belt. No matter who's decision it was it was right right one, but I'm sure if it was up to Felix he would have played. Dude is as competitive as they come.
Besides the Cy Young is an INDIVIDUAL award. Its...
Those 30 CGs are more a product of how much different the game was back then. And you can't penalize Felix for being in the AL, there's nothing he could do about that. As for Felix only being "good" outside of Seattle, that's plain wrong. The only reason I even got on myspace last year was for...
Our offense was historically bad. Wins are not something a pitcher has complete control over, even if you don't look a sabermetrics stats and look at your small group of stats you do look at Felix wins most of them.

Not going to the playoffs isn't Felix's fault. Even if he somehow wins 30 games we still go 78-94. Plenty of people use whip, its a HELL of a lot more useful than opponent batting average. Why would we join SABR? Just because we look at sabermetrics doesn't mean we need to pay to join plus like...
Exactly. Sabermetrics aren't about pointless number crunching, they're about isolating the moments when a player is in complete control of what happens, so for a pitcher varibles such as the defense behind him or the ballpark he plays in can impact his ERA. By focusing on what players CAN...
