NL Cy Young...Kershaw again?

MOFNY · Sep 13, 2012

Cueto is leading in ERA+ and War, but we have Kershaw and Dickey very close to each other in WHIP and WAR.
Who else can sneak in? Gonzalez perhaps?
Overall I think this will come down to the wire. Cueto has had a couple bad starts, and meanwhile Kershaw is sneaking in.

It certainly isn't that cut and dry for me. Maybe awhile ago. Kershaw has been every bit as good, so has Cueto.

Its between Kershaw, Dickey, and Gio right now. And in my opinion that's the order of where they would finish if the season ended right now.

MOFNY · Sep 13, 2012

It would probably be Kershaw, Dickey, and Cueto for me. Those could easily change, although we are winding down.
According to the CYP on ESPN, Kershaw is ninth. Gonzalez is first despite not being close to Kershaw in K/BB, WHIP, but close to ERA+.

Ceuto, Dickey, Kershaw is my current order.

I got Dickey, Gio, Cueto, Kershaw right now.

Between Dickey and Kershaw, Dickey would win easily.

Dickey: 18-5, 2.68 era, 197 Ks, WHIP: 1.04
Kershaw: 12-9, 2.70 era, 206 Ks, WHIP: 1.02

Their WHIP, era and Ks are virtually identical, but Dickey's W-L is much better. Not to mention his out-of-nowhere story that the media loves, and it's a no-brainer.

For someone to win the Cy Young with only 12 or 13 wins, like Felix Hernandez did in 2010, their other stats must blow the other contenders out of the water.

Why? I don't mean to be rude, but back up your opinion instead of just writing, "Cueto fo sho."

Cueto was the front runner, but he's slipped.
He is 17th in strikeouts, 9th in WHIP, 3rd in era and is 17-8 compared to Dickey's 18-5.

Remember, a team's success has nothing to do with the Cy Young Award.

And yet, voters still give consideration to wins in their voting, which depends on the success of the team - if your team can't score for your, then you cant win as a pitcher.

My vote is for RA Dickey right now.
