[Cocos Disciples]

1. Greinke

2. Halladay

 

I think those two are fairly clear as the 1-2 right now.

[Keeper]

Gotta be Halladay or Greinke at this point.

[BigPapiEnFuego]

I'd go with Greinke purely because he's doing it on the Royals of all teams.

[High Mileage]

Next starts...

 

Beckett: Sunday @ Phillies

Bedard: Saturday @ Rockies

Buehrle: Sunday @ Brewers

Greinke: Wednesday v. Diamondbacks

Halladay: today v. Marlins

Hernandez: Tuesday @ Padres

Jackson: Wednesday @ Cardinals

Verlander: Tuesday @ Cardinals

Weaver: Sunday v. Padres

this.

Halladay left today's game against the Marlins in the 4th with a groin injury...

[Jasonbay44]

Right now its Greinke, with a Halladay a close 2nd.

[High Mileage]

Right now its Greinke' date=' with a Halladay a close 2nd.[/quote']

 

The Royals fan in me hopes Halladay goes on the DL, the baseball fan in me doesn't. I'm conflicted...

[Jasonbay44]

Is Halladay's injury serious? That would be a HUGE blow to the Jays.

[High Mileage]

"Halladay grimaced after tossing his second pitch of the inning. After manager Cito Gaston and trainer George Poulis visited the mound to talk to him, Halladay tried one warm-up pitch, then tossed the ball to catcher Rod Barajas and left for the dugout. More news as it becomes available. Hopefully it's nothing serious and the Jays erred on the side of caution."

[Gom]

Greinke or Halladay. No one else is even remotely close.

[BSN07]

Greinke is the obvious choice.

 

Halladay is next, but if he's going to be on the shelf he will fall down the list quick.

 

If Beckett keeps pitching like he has been for the last month he will climb up the list. Lester as well but he has a ways to go still.

 

If all 3 or 4 guys continue to pitch like this all season it should make for a great CY Young race:thumbsup:

Several bad outings today, although both Buehrle and Beckett hit home runs...

 

Beckett: (L), 6 innings, 11 hits, 7 runs, 6 earned, 0 walks, 5 strikeouts, 1 HR. ERA up to 4.15

Buerhle: (ND), 6 innings, 7 hits, 4 earned runs, 1 walk, 5 strikeouts, 3 HR. ERA up to 3.43

 

Jered Weaver getting red hot, I read the other day he was dedicating this season to Nick Adenhart...

 

Weaver: (W), CG, SHO, 5 hits, 1 walk, 5 strikeouts. ERA down to 2.08

[Cocos Disciples]

Buehrle isn't really a candidate IMO.

[jacksonianmarch]

CC is gonna end up in the top 5. Halladay, barring a deal to the NL is damn near a lock.

[Cocos Disciples]

Year end predictions:

1. Halladay

2. Greinke

3. Verlander

[Keeper]

Buehrle isn't really a candidate IMO.

 

Neither is Beckett IMO.

[High Mileage]

Buehrle isn't really a candidate IMO.

 

Neither is Beckett IMO.

 

They are according to Bill James and his "Cy Young Predictor", at least they were before today. They were in the top 10 anyways...

[Cocos Disciples]

Beckett's not right now but could be. I don't think Buehrle will be at all.

[Keeper]

That I agree with.

[High Mileage]

Verlander: (L), 4 innings, 8 hits, 5 earned runs, 2 walks, 4 strikeouts. ERA up to 3.39

 

Millwood: (W), 7 innings, 4 hits, 1 earned run, 3 walks, 6 strikeouts, 1 home run. ERA down to 2.62

 

Hernandez: (W), CG SHO, 2 hits, 4 walks, 6 strikeouts. ERA down to 2.77

 

 

Greinke and Jackson pitch tomorrow. I'll post a new graphic Thursday morning...

[High Mileage]

Halladay to the DL...

Slowey: (W), 6 innings, 3 hits, 1 run, 4 walks, 6 strikeouts, ERA down to 4.01

[Cocos Disciples]

Slowey doesn't really deserve to be on that list.

[High Mileage]

Slowey doesn't really deserve to be on that list.

I agree, but somehow his numbers add up...
