AL CY Young

[Twinskies]

I think at this point it's Halladay's to lose. Santana might not have had the best first half, but I would look for him to make a major push after the all star break (sound familiar?) and make a decent race out of it.

Well now we are at the half way mark and it looks to me like Halladay is taking it and hiding from the rest of the pack. Colon and Garland are probably the next best candidates and Halladay's numbers crush them.

Halladay isn't crushing Buehrle. In fact, Mark has a good a case for cy as Roy.

Buehrle is my choice. Halladay's been good, but Buehrle has just been that much better...

I emphatically disagree with this statement.

First of all, Mark Buehrle blew up today allowing 14 hits, 7 runs (4 earned) with only 3 strikeouts for the loss, and this was agaisnt a presumably weak hitting team in the Oakland A's.

He pushed his era up to 2.58, and his record now stands at 10-2.
His whip is now 1.11 with 88 ks.

In comparence with Roy Halladay, every single one of those stats is much worse with the exception of win percentage.

Halladay's era now stands at 2.33, with a record of 12-4. His whip is a crazy .94, with 104 ks.

At mid-season right now, there should be no question as to who is the 1st half Cy Young winner.

The answer: Roy Halladay.

Yeah, if he kept his ERA down over an entire point. He's no where near Halladay or Buehrle at this point.

Halladay.

Hands down.

Without a doubt. IMO.

The answer: Roy Halladay.

A 2.58 era is MUCH worse then 2.33? They were about even in era before today's games. Mark gave up 4 to Roy's 1. You are talking 3 runs in 3 months. 104 K's versus 88 is MUCH worse?

The one poster said Halladay crushes everyone. Simply not true. Roy might have a slight edge after today, but Mark is still close.

Both have 13 QS, with Mark having 1 less game. Mark was ahead in Win Shares before today. They are likely tied, or Roy ahead by 1 after today. Roy has a slight edge in VORP. The DIPS era are about even.

Chan Ho Park has 8 wins . He gets my vote!



Kidding, just kidding guys.

It's 7 more wins than I thought he'd get this year though.
