Re: Bartolo Colon Wins AL Cy Young
[ QUOTE ]
How can you possibly argue that Rodriguez is a better closer? I'm really interested to hear how. Saves are a pretty useless stat, and even so Rodriguez only has 2 more than Rivera. [/ QUOTE ] Are you insane? If saves are not important then what is important for a closer? I would think Blown Saves and Saves are the most important numbers because it tells you how efficient he is. Overall both are pretty even in those categories. He has a better ERA, but still its not enough to make him a candidate for the Cy Young. Rivera had a slightly better year than K-Rod, but its not like he was that much better.

A 2 save lead makes up for Rodriguez having an ERA which is well over a point higher? And a WHIP which is .3 higher? there is only one word for it and it is AWESOME.

Re: Bartolo Colon Wins AL Cy Young
I made a post about Santana's superior stats a month ago, and will repeat some of it here.
Let's compare Santana and Colon: Wins: Santana 16, Colon 21 Losses: Santana 7, Colon 8 CG: Santana 3, Colon 2 Shutouts: Santana 2, Colon 0 IP: Santana 231.2, Colon 222.2 ERA: Santana 2.97, Colon 3.48 WHIP: Santana 0.97, Colon 1.16 BAA: Santana .210, Colon .254 K: Santana 238, Colon 157 BB: Santana 45, Colon 43 K/BB: Santana 5.29, Colon 3.65 H: Santana 180, Colon 215 HR: Santana 22, Colon 26 QS: Santana 24, Colon 21 The only significant category Colon beats Santana in is wins (and walks). How can you justify giving Cy Young to a pitcher who is clearly outmatched? Because he won 5 more games? Six times this year, Santana went at least 7 innings and gave up 2 runs or fewer, and received a ND or L. Blame his terrible team for lack of run support. Santana's run support was 4.70, Colon's 6.02. Don't fault the pitcher for putting his team in a much better position to get wins.
