Schmidt is awesome, but you're quick to forget about the guy that won it 4 years in a row before an off-season last year. And, he looks like he's back on the money this year: The BIG UNIT. He's awesome. It's close now, but RJ will blow any competition out of the water in the socond half.
Good thing I've got both RJ and Schmidt (and Prior too!)
An unanswered question is better than an unquestioned answer
And as promised last month, when they hand out the Cy Young trophies, I will to repost the several string in which the Pitch Count Mafia warned everyone that Schmidt's arm would fall off because he continues to throw more than 100 pitches a game.
Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he'll drown because you forgot to teach him to swim.

Clemens has definatly had the best start to the year. 9-2, 2.84 ERA, and 97K's is hard to argue with. I have a feeling he will fall off and end up 13-8 with atleast a 4.00ERA, at which point Prior will win the CY Yound because he is gunna be strong after June.

There's no way they'll give it to Prior for only playing half the season unless he does not allow a run from here on out...

You're right those numbers are hard to argue with.. but they can be argued. Schmidt has been the best pitcher period. With one less start the Clemens he's got more IP, more K's, Fewer walks, fewer hits, better ERA, and a much better WHIP.. and Schmidt plays on a much weaker offensive team than Clemens. The reason Rocket and RJ are getting votes is because people are playing the popularity card and not basing it upon the actual numbers put in front of them. While RJ,Rocket have been good.. no one has been better than Schmidt.

no doubt about it being schmidt. he's just getting warmed up and looks to be on the road to a special season. I'm especially convinced after yesterday's game. It's still early, but te simply dominates like no other pitcher in the game right now.
