No doubt about that.CokeGreaterThanPepsi said:
And I would argue that Felix does that more than any other pitcher in baseball over the past 7 years or so. But that doesn't show up in the form of "wins".Tequilla said:

Exhibit A: Fernando Rodney got a win the other day for giving up 3 runs in 1 inning and blowing a save. PITCHER WINS!
I don't think that a win is completely worthless ... for relievers yes ... for starters no. The job of a starter is to put his team in position to win the game.
Ultimately, regardless of how you want to look at it, stats can only get you so far when evaluating a player and his value.
We want numbers to tell us everything ... but they are only a guide and probably best used as a way to prove a theory instead of using to develop a theory.
I think I saw a headline the other day that said something to the effect that researchers have proven that there's correlation between viewing interest and the size of the point spread in a game. Talk about water being wet. -

the uptick is nice, but if the Mariners are going to make the playoffs, cano is going to have to pick it up bigtime

From Jonah Keri and Grantland. He picked Sonny Gray as his Cy Young so far, which is fine, but to not mention Felix is retarded and makes him lose all credibility. It can't be an oversight either. It's not like Felix is an obscure pitcher. He's been regarded by most as the best pitcher in the AL for a few years now, at least since Verlander fell off.
This is more or less a toss-up. Gray leads the AL in park-adjusted ERA. Corey Kluber leads in park-adjusted FIP. Keuchel, Jake Odorizzi, Chris Archer, and Michael Pineda have all been terrific. But Gray ranks fourth in park-adjusted FIP category and fifth in innings pitched, so this isn’t merely a vote for superficial stats. The 25-year-old righty gets the nod for now, but there are at least five or six worthy candidates.

Keri's generally pretty good and generally very pro-Mariner (at least since his precious Expos made the Road Kill list), so I'd be interested in hearing out his reasoning for why Felix didn't make the cut. I'd be very surprised if he doesn't make his list towards the end of the year when it matters*.
