Assessing the National League Cy Young Award race: Fan's take

boilermaker · 09-15-2011, 03:58 PM

The only three names that deserve to be in this conversation at this point of the season are Halladay, Lee, and Kershaw. I believe Kershaw's got the best numbers across the board. Halladay has the highest Wins Against Replacement.

I hope Kershaw wins even though the Dodgers are in the cellar.

What Kershaw has done, despite his team, is fantastic...and he's only 23...helluva pitcher.

actionjackson · 09-17-2011, 02:26 PM

My top ten (subject to change over the final twoish weeks

):

1. Roy Halladay
2. Cliff Lee
3. Clayton Kershaw
4. Cole Hamels
5. Ian Kennedy
6. Tim Lincecum
7. Matt Cain
8. Madison Bumgarner
9. Craig Kimbrel
10. Johnny Cueto

I don't see any way Halladay could lose the award. He's going to lead the league in the one stat the voters care about (wins) and he'll also be the most valuable pitcher.
