League Notes:
Early Canidiate for Cy Young?
If the season ended today Dave Stieb, Toronto Blue Jay pitcher would probably be the Cy Young reciepient. With a ERA of 2.62 and a record of 8-2 Stieb is one of the best starting pitchers in the American League. Stieb had a rough season last year but prior to last season he had won at least 12 games for 6 straight seasons.
