Felix and the CY Young

The Seattle Mariners has to be the most disappointing team of the year in Major League Baseball. How does a team that has a flame thrower like Felix Hernandez and one point had Cliff Lee in their rotation go down hill so quick? This team had high expectations this season and they failed in all categories. Felix is leading the league in most of the pitching stats except the win column where he is 12-12. Last year the Cy Young winner was Zack Grienke of the Kansas City Royals with 15 wins and Felix was second. If you put Felix on a winning team i.e. Tampa, Yankees, Boston he would be blowing the talk with him and C.C. Sabathia and David Price. When a team that has a talent like Felix wouldn't you want to find batters that will give him run support to make him feel like he is doing his job. This is absolutely a embarrassment that the M's can't give this young man more than two runs per game and expect him to pitch a dominate game every time he takes the mound. This whole teams needs to be blown up and start over with the front office cleaning house. I knew this season was going to be a rough one once they traded for Milton Bradley and Ken Griffey Jr coming back. The problems kept coming and looked what happen, Don Wakamatsu gets fired not even three years on the job, Junior retires in the middle of the season, Bradley has a mental meltdown, then they trade away Lee to the Texas Rangers for prospects that are not ready to help this team out. One of their prospect has a sexual assault charge on him that stems from his minor league team in Sacramento. The Mariners are quickly losing its identity with all these problems they are having and the fans still go out and support this team. The lone bright spot on this team is Felix and his phenomenal pitching. Felix is simply keeping this team on the radar of the baseball world. He deserves this year Cy Young for the fact that he leads the league in innings pitch, strikeouts,earned run average and quality starts. Wins are a rarity for this gas thrower. Felix you are a pleasure to watch and you are the only reason right now that people go to Mariners game. It would be a shame if Felix gets snub two years in a row to win this prestige's award.
