Another NL Cy Young Poll....Who you got?

markakis8 · Aug 29, 2010

Adam Wainwright has been struggling as of late but still has decent #'s.

I think Halladay has pulled out in front, IMO. He is 1st in K's and ERA and 3rd in WHIP and 2nd in W. Tim Hudson is coming up close with a vengeance as is Latos. This just turned into a big seven or eight-headed race (depending on who you think is involved)

Wainwright FTW!!!!

The complete games and shutouts put it at Halladay for me.

ESPN CYP says Wainwright is BARELY ahead of Halladay right now...

Halladay and i'm a Braves fan, he should have 20 wins already.

So Should Wainwright.

Let's see:

I'm going to throw out Latos and Garcia for the lack of innings pitched (both currently under 150).
I'm going to throw out Carpenter for the fact he has the highest ERA of the bunch, highest BAA and no CG's or Shutouts).
Because there are better contenders with more wins, I'm going to toss out Johnson and his 11 wins.

This now leaves Hudson, Wainwright, Halladay and Jimenez

We all know Jimenez was the stud at the beginning of the year, but obviously he's dropped off since them. Of the four remaining, Jimenez has the highest ERA and highest WHIP, so I'm taking him out.

The Strikeouts, CG's and Shutouts for Halladay and Wainwright give to them over Hudson, so he's gone.

So to me, it's Halladay and Wainwright. Halladay has more CG's, Shutouts, Strikeouts, innings pitched and less walks. Wainwright meanwhile has a better ERA, WHIP and BAA and more wins.

Because there is a very minimal difference in those last three stats, I give it to Halladay at this point. But things could easily change between now and the end of the year.

And that my friends....is the process of elimination at its finest.

Like I was saying 2 weeks ago, still Halladay.

Halladay gets my vote.
More complete games, shutouts, ERA, K's, his K/BB ratio is by far better than any of the other pitchers.
Doc suffers from the same affliction that he had with the Jays. Lack of run support.

Doc 4.78
Hudson 6.48
J.Johnson 5.83
Latos 5.89
Wainwright 6.08
Jimenez 6.64
Carpenter 6.76
Jaime Garcia 7.36

With Doc you can truly say that he should have won more games.
