Felix Pie 20 OF

Felix insists on pronouncing his last name Pee-Aye as if that somehow sounds better than Pie. This inevitability over-hyped prospect now has supplanted Alfonso Soriano in CF. Felix gets big points for having a cool first name and an unusual pronunciation for a last name you thought you already knew how to say.
As a fan you can't help but get a little excited when you see Felix chase down a tough liner into the gap for an out. As a Cub's fan you are probably a little reluctant to expose your real feelings due to the whole Corey Patterson/Jerome Walton thing. He is not like those other guys, we encourage you to just go out there and try it one more time... give Felix a chance.
Fearless-Felix looks like he will be bringing some of that Dawson-like ferocity to the Wrigley outfield for some time after he basically willed himself up from AAA and into the starting lineup when Soriano pulled a hamstring.
