This is provided that Felix doesn't every once in a while find a way to collide with Ben Broussard.Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918726793586708510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851436159701828450.post-24519806782925085832008-02-18T21:19:00.000-08:002008-02-18T21:19:00.000-08:00felix without a doubtfelix without a doubtAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851436159701828450.post-48178263560076550282008-02-18T19:12:00.000-08:002008-02-18T19:12:00.000-08:00Going forward I'd take Felix over Johan.If I wante...Going forward I'd take Felix over Johan.<BR/><BR/>If I wanted to win it all right now I'd probably take Johan.<BR/><BR/>Felix is about 7 years younger so he likely has the longer, more productive years ahead of him.<BR/><BR/>Johan didn't become a full time starter in the MLB until he was 25. Felix has done nothing but start since breaking in at age 19.<BR/><BR/>The only guys I'd consider taking ahead of Felix are young guys still under club control.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851436159701828450.post-52685433774328780612008-02-18T18:06:00.000-08:002008-02-18T18:06:00.000-08:00Johan?Johan?Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918726793586708510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851436159701828450.post-65749041628709655682008-02-18T08:49:00.000-08:002008-02-18T08:49:00.000-08:00I'd take Felix over pretty much any other pitcher ...I'd take Felix over pretty much any other pitcher in baseball.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5851436159701828450.post-75666797871390257612008-02-17T13:45:00.000-08:002008-02-17T13:45:00.000-08:00Felix.

He is the future face of the franchise.
