Felix Hernandez Lights Out

Felix Hernandez vs. Dice-K. My oh my. Wasn't Dice-K getting all the hype. It was crazy. You know what was even more crazy? Felix Hernandez. I'm not going to go into details here about the game but this guy is for real. When he keeps the ball low, he is nearly unhittable. If there is one guy in all of the majors that could contend for AL Cy Young with Santana its Hernandez. I know that it is still early but this kid is the real deal. I will soon be releasing an updated version of my top 250 I hope. I can guarantee one thing, this kid is going to be on his way up the board. I had him ranked 62 in my preseason rankings. You should expect to see him after the Oswalt/Zambrano/Peavy/Halladay group but before last years NL Cy Young Brandon Webb. Just off the top of my head right now, that would put him in the top 50.
