Just to name a few...

Halladay 12-4 2.41 ERA 0.96 WHIP
Santana 12-6 3.37 ERA 1.03 WHIP
Buehrle 13-6 3.07 ERA 1.18 WHIP
Garland 16-7 3.43 ERA 1.17 WHIP
Harden 10-5 2.63 ERA 1.07 WHIP
Colon 16-6 3.46 ERA 1.17 WHIP

I respectfully disagree.

The hell I can't. I've watched him his whole career. This year his numbers are finally living up to his talent. He was a top prospect coming up, and has had the physical ability his entire career. His problem has been mental, and Ozzie Guillen seems to have finally put a chip on his shoulder. He's challenging hitters and sawing thier asses off. He's nasty this year. I hope it lasts.

He had a rough start in Boston and then came back and looked great against the Yankees over the weekend. He'll be fine. He's going to end up with 20 wins and a low 3 ERA -- those are Cy-type numbers, depending on how the rest of the field finishes.
