The Mariners named Erik Bedard their opening day starter.

That's a shame. Bedard had a better 2007 than Felix, and may be projected better this year too. But the difference isn't enormous... and generally I'm of the opinion that you at least give the incumbent one opening day start to defend his role as ace.

I'm with that - it's not like Bedard is a 20 game winner

I like the move, give Felix some more motivation and a little bit of healthy competition to prove himself. Both parties will experience the feeling of having an equally talented SP on their team for the first time.
