bummed at how little support Felix Hernandez seems to be getting for the HOF. With the way starters are now used, standards for pitchers need to be adjusted. Felix had a 7-year run about as good as anyone, he should be garnering some support

While it's just their opinion, man, Fangraphs has Felix as the 7th most valuable pitcher of the 21st Century so far. Per their formulation of WAR, he's 1.1 wins ahead of Randy Johnson, 1.4 of Roy Oswalt, and 1.7 of Mark Buehrle. (The Unit was worth an additional 1.05 Felixes in the '90s.)
My question is on HOF voting, why not take advantage and vote for as many options as possible. If I was voting though, I'm voting for King Felix. He was the best pitcher of his era in my opinion.

(Felix is 3 yrs younger than Justin Verlander)
…with lack of single-season black ink, I guess Felix falls short for HOF voters w/o better career counts 🤷🏻♂️
