King Felix’s 2006 Debut

Seattle Mariners' phenom starter Felix Hernandez makes his 2006 debut tonight against Joe Blanton and the Oakland A's .  Expectations are very high for Hernandez, including some looking for Dwight Gooden-like success despite the fact that he turns 20 tomorrow.  Gooden was simply unbelieveable at an equally young age.  I like Hernandez and think he'll be great, but not quite as great as some predict for 2006.  For tonight's debut, I'm thinking:

6 IP, 3 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 8 K 

We'll see soon enough.
