Apparently he's still alive, but in hospice. The news reports yesterday were premature.
But anyways, I've always thought he was one of top 3 righties.
I hate my pretentious sounding username too.

He was great, no doubt. Since he retired, we've had Bob Gibson, Tom Seaver, Roger Clemens and Greg Maddux. Not sure if I'd rate Feller <i>above</i> those guys, but it's debatable.
It's tough to even include the dead-ball guys, because pitching in that era was SO different, but Walter Johnson, Cy Young and Christy Mathewson were all righties.
What's interesting about Feller is that he was the ONLY great right-handed pitcher for 45 years. That makes me think that perhaps he was better than his stats indicate. From the close of the dead-ball era in 1920, until the mid-60's pitching explosion, I can't think of another truly great rightie (and only Spahn and Grove are inner-circle lefties from that era).
Am I missing someone?

Whitey Ford?
Warren Spahn?
Robin Roberts?
Fat Bastard is an immensely obese, hardly able to walk (weighing a metric ton) gardener and henchman hailing from Scotland. His extreme size endows Fat Bastard with super-human strength as exhibited by his prowess in the Sumo ring from Goldmember. This makes him a formidable enemy for Austin Powers. Fat Bastard is noted for his foul temper, his frequent flatulence, his vulgar and revolting bad manners and his unusual eating habits, which include taste for Human infants (which he calls "the other other white meat") or anything that looks like a baby, e.g. small people. Fat Bastard has been a regular at Cub games since the early 80's when he tried several times (unsuccessfully) to eat the visiting San Diego Chicken.

Roberts and Bob Lemon are the only right-handed pitchers from Feller's era that come semi-close.

Good point. The way I see it, I use eras as a barometer, due to the difficulty to really say someone from 1985 is better than 1905.
So for me, as far as righties go:
Deadball Era: Walter Johnson
Golden Age: Bob Feller
Expansion Era: Bob Gibson/Tom Seaver
Modern Era: Pedro Martinez

It's odd...there must be a reason that there were hardly any dominant pitchers (especially right-handed ones) for a <i>45 year</i> period in MLB history. That's a long time.
Robin Roberts is the only one who's close, and though he's a deserving HOFer, he's nowhere near Feller's class. Don Newcombe, Allie Reynolds, Dizzy Dean, Dazzy Vance?

I guess there's a possibility Cliff Lee could take his talents to Philadelphia.

It's sounding like Lee to the Phillies might actually happen. That might be the best rotation ever.

WTF, is this a conspiracy? How do the Phils not have the highest payroll in the NL?
