Johan (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/6441) , Pedro (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/4875) , Prior (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/6787) , Clemens (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/3340) , Peavy (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/6872) , Dontrelle (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/7133) , Garland (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/6396) , Mussina (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/4715) , Hudson (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/4715) Vazquez (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/5947) , Buehlre (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/6525) , Bedard (http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb/players/6910)

[tbach24]

I'm going with Bedard (even though he is now injured) and Peavy.

Bedard has a good K/BB (better than 4/1), doesn't give up many HR's (3), and is 5-1. Johan was second.

Peavy has a 6/1 K/BB, only 4 HR's, and is 5-0. He has been flatout disgusting as of late as well (1 ER in the past 23 IP). Clemens was a close second, followed by Dontrelle at 3.

[BWebb]

Santana is awesome and he will probably end up winning the award, but no way he should get votes in this poll. As of right now, he has nothing on Garland or Bedard.

Had it the same way, except Garland 2nd in the AL.

[shadyridr]

Right now its clearly Garland and Willis although it wont end that way.

Speaking of Dead, why are Yankees fans so blind in their love for the Yankees? I mean I absolutely love the Minnesota Twins and watch nearly every game on MlbTv, but I'm realistic when it comes to their chances. Yankees fans are like "the Yankees will win the WS this year with 100% probability"

im not like that.

[Voltron87]

right now i say garland/clemens.

its a wash between garland and bedard, but bedard is on the dl and could be really, really in trouble with the MCL, apparently it is not just a take 5-6 starts off" thing, but a surgery.

[stankybank]

I remember picking up Johan Santana, Jake Peavy, and Mark Prior in my fantasy league a few years back when they were virtually unknown and they all did well for me. I made sure to look after them the following year but they were drafted early or taken somehow when they were basically on reserve the previous year. ESPN did this thing on young phenom Mark Prior and I picked him up that very night and he recorded like 11K's the next day. Sweet feeling.

Anyhow, I pick Santana and Peavy this year.

Clemens has better ERA, better WHIP, similar K/9. The W-L is only 1 win off. I don't see how you could have Myers as better.

I'm surprised that Pedro hasn't recieved a vote yet.

well, myers does have a better K/BB and as a red sox fan, i die a little bit every time clemens wins one /images/graemlins/mad.gif

or maybe it's my contrarian nature voting for the guy left off...

In no way does Dead represent views of Yankee fans in general. He's just a biased fan. I find fault with a lot of what he says, but don't take time to respond.

You're realistic when it comes to Minnesota's chances because for the last decade, Minnesota has not had a chance or has not done any damage in the postseason except for their series win in 2002. The Yankees have not only won four World Series in that span, but have consistently put themselves in a spot to win or reach the World Series. Personally, I think the Yankees' chance to win this year is about 20%.

As for the poll, I voted Garland and Willis. That's for current Cy Young. I think the eventual winners will be Santana and Peavy.

I actually was thinking about this after his last start. He went like 150 pitches for a CGSO and I was pissed because I had the CHC closer at the time on my team and was like "fuck, at least Prior will get injured now" /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Why would somebody vote for Mussina? Hes not even the Yankees best pitcher (Wang).

Wang sucks. Mussina has pitched more IP and has done better. And the reason someone would vote for Mussina is because they are an irrational Yankees fan named Dead.

[pryor15]

i think if Maddux wasn't such an icon, dusty would probably have him on the fast-track to the DL as well. it's to the point that getting cubs pitchers for your roto team isn't worth it.

[Voltron87]

wang does not suck. hes certainly no ace, but he has been really good. in comparison to mussina and johnson obviously hes not very good and not a big game pitcher yet, but the guy was called out of AAA a month ago. hes been putting up 7 IP 3 ER every night, hes been solid.

[tbach24]

Okay, I was being harsh with mr. Wang. However, saying he's as good as Mussina, Brown (SO UNLUCKY), Pavano or RJ is ridic.

[sublime]

that is just dead being a moron.

ding ding ding. unfortunatly society seeems to always recognize the biggest moron and use him as the poster boy for a group of people.

like, i could talk baseball all day with andyfox, and not even care that he is a yankees fan but would hate to have to sit in the same room as 90% of the people who root for the sox.

Huh? Do you even watch baseball? Wang is 3rd IN THE MAJORS in 1-2-3 innings behind Clemens and Martinez and has pitched a quality start in every game but 1.

In the long run I agree (except for Brown) but as of today (right this moment) I think he's been the Yankees best starter.

Wow, because 1-2-3 IP are so important.

If a game is 9 innings, how much does 1 inning matter?

1/9 to prevent smartass responses.

[/ QUOTE ]

/images/graemlins/confused.gif1-2-3 IP means the opponent doesnt score a run. Pretty important IMO considering who's 1st and 2nd in the majors.

but he's yet to have a dominant start and has a K/BB of 12/7 in 33IP (which is really bad) can you say first time through the league?

[/ QUOTE ]

I thought a 1-2-3 IP meant that three batters came up and those 3 went down in that inning. Hence the "3 up, 3 down" phrase.

[Voltron87]

yeah, you just can't judge a guy from AAA the same as someone with a 10,000,000+ contract.

hes been solid, not yet dominating, but hes got potential. i really hope we dont trade him.

[Dead]

The clear choice for AL Cy Young is Michael Cole Mussina. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

And Wang is awesome.

[pryor15]

since when does a WHIP over 1.30 make you a clear choice? /images/graemlins/wink.gif

[Soya]

I think Kenny Rogers should at least be on the list. He's got the lowest ERA in the AL at 1.69 and while his WHIP and K numbers aren't that good the old man deserves some resepect.

[pryor15]

props for the old guy getting it done.
