It's funny ... sometimes pitchers start the All-Star game with two pitches:  Felix' fastball, and Felix' curve.
Or Felix could use only his FB and change, those two pitches, and definitely be one of the top pitchers in the game.
Now that we have F/X here, it's too bad you can't go retro with it.  I would really like to know whether Felix had the overall best stuff of any pitcher who ever lived.  Two epic breaking pitches, 5-6 overall strikeout pitches, plus-plus command of a top-10 fastball.   I don't see anybody in the Neyer/James book who matches that.
And it's not clear that he isn't getting better.  Since when does he throw a cut fastball?
