Maybe Felix Hernandez could have reinvented himself as a reliever a few years ago when the wheels started coming off, but I have to assume it's too late now for that to be more than a stopgap way of earning a few more checks.
2007, 2009, & 2014 were the only years in Felix Hernandez' twenties when the team was playing for anything, so there's an argument that they could have laid off him more in 2006 & 2008 in particular, with the team going nowhere.

Certainly, in 2006 when Felix was 20, there were games down the stretch where you have to think he could have been shut down earlier https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/TEX/TEX200608130.shtml … &https://www.baseball-reference.com/boxes/TBA/TBA200609030.shtml …
