text: If he was your first pick, then you must like him, so you should keep it.  I have him in one of my teams too.\n\nI beleve he could be better, maybe an ERA in lower 4, 1.3 WHIP, 10 wins, and 150 strikeouts through the season.\n\nMariners is not a good team and in a very strong division.  It's hard for Félix Hernández to win a lot, and keep his ERA low if Mariners don't allow him to throw sliders.  Mariners would also try to protect him by limit his pitch counts, so 130-150 innings with 150 Ks is my prediction.
