Current Cy Young Winner? NL

[craiger122003]

Who gets the nod so far? I like Wainwright or Jimenez so far
Who you got to date?

 

[MOFNY]

Jimenez with that ERA+. However, Oswalt is off to his best start ever. He seems every bit as legit as the others.

 

[darocker80]

How is it anyone but ubaldo?!

 

[craiger122003]

Fair enough statement we will add Oswalt to the mix
Waino has been a victim of bad luck so far one bad pitch has killed him in multiple starts

 

[KOBEARODLT]

jiminez, its his to lose

 

[craiger122003]

I wondered the same thing last year when it was a close race It seems to be a somewhat biased vote? No ?

How is it anyone but ubaldo?!

.....please.

can you honestly say there is someone better than ubaldo right now.

 

[craiger122003]

Honestly no but I thought someone else would have won last year
So thats why I asked the question I am not trying to stir a pot just looking for the facts

 

[PaulKonerkbro]

his name starts with u. and ends with baldo jimenez.

despite who u think should've (who u wanted to win) at least you can admit it was close between the three...

ubaldo has seperated himself from the pack thus far through the season.

 

[donrusscrusademan]

yeah as of right now NL isnt even close.

AL is a different story, with Fister leading in ERA and WHIP but having no wins due to being on a toothless club with a horrid offense. kind of goes back to the question we had last year "what is a W worth?"

 

[MacK]

Jaime Garcia?

Do people realize how good he's been?

4-2, 1.14 ERA, 39 H in 55 IP, 1 HR allowed, 45 K, 1.1 WHIP.

 

[craiger122003]

Probably the closest race ever This year Carpenter is struggling a bit and so is Lincy
Wainwright is doing the best of the 3 Jimenez is running away so far but there is always the 2nd half of the season
I was just seeing if anyone mentioned any other guys Oswalt has no chance at it if he is an Astro

[craiger122003]

Mack yes I do realize Garcia as a sleeper

 

[darocker80]

ya lincecum has been struggling, but just these past starts. If they bull pen didn't blow 4 of his wins in a row he'd be like 7-9 wins and 1 loss and wouldn't like as bad.

ya wainwright has been solid. jaime too but seems like he can't go deep into games.

 

[Zambrano38]

Just looked at Ubaldo's stats.

Ah wow

 

[craiger122003]

I think Jaime can go deep just on a pitch count since the TJ last year
Any time he gets close to 100 pitches Tony pulls him ::facepalm:: He has taken him out when
he is doing his best work This may work out for the best but still sucks to see a manager pull a guy after 6 shutout innings

ya i was gonna say every time i see or follow his start he pitches strong and then gets p ulled out and doens't go into the 7th...and i'm like what?! haha

and innings pitched really is a big factor for the cy young race. that is what gave lincecum a little edge over carpenter and what impressed voters when looking at wainwright last year.

ya wainwright has been solid. jaime too but seems like he can't go deep into games.

Because he's coming off of TJ? Haha. He still goes 6 innings every single game, and never throws more than 100 pitches.

didn't know that haha. don't get me wrong, he has pitched very well to start the beginning of the season. it'd be nice if he could go a bit deeper though (i know its harder with the recovery or whatnot)
