As y'know, most young flamethrowers lose velo as they gain finesse, but Schilling maintained his velo much better as he evolved. Hence the plateaus that are so easy to scan...
Felix of course maintaining the velo, also...
Still, if I offered you Roger Clemens or Pedro Martinez you'd have to think pretty hard about it. I'm perfectly happy with the starter we have. I just wish we'd also been smart enough to add Pedro to our Clemens when we had the chance.
For Felix, or for Lincecum?
:- ) In either case, where in the world is a pitcher when you'd have to think about Clemens for him. Yow. I think James has Clemens top-5 all time.
Felix is, more or less, as good as it gets -- as good as it has ever gotten -- for a pitcher after 5 years. You could draft him with anybody after their Y-5 resumes...
