Yeah Peavy has been amazing...... but even if he qualified for the CY (which he does... there are no IP requirements) I wouldn't vote for him because his IP are too low. RJ has 71 more than him, which is HUGE. I'm pretty sure I've said this before, that IP and distribution of park adjusted ERA (ie: ERA and QS) are the two stats that I consider most. Nothing against Peavy, but he hasn't pitched enough innings. And once you take PF into account, Peavy's ERA goes from 2.27 to 2.49, which is still good. RJ's goes from 2.65 down to 2.54 though, so the diffference is really negligible. One more ER either way and they're tied in ERA. And again..... RJ has way more IP. Also, 7 IP/GS compared to Peavy's 6 IP/GS.

I hope RJ somehow pulls it off. It will help get rid of the notion that a pitcher has to have a .650 winning percentage to be the cy young...wins and loses is a product of the team, and the cy young is an individual award in my opinion.

Oh, I definitely agree . RJ's got my vote, but I'd like to have seen what Peavy would have done with another 50 innings.
Yes doctor, I am sick. Sick of those who are spineless. Sick of those who feel self-entitled. Sick of those who are hypocrites. Yes doctor, an army is forming. Yes doctor, there will be a war. Yes doctor, there will be blood.....
it'll be a travesty if RJ doesnt win and i'll never have any sort of respect for those writers or whoever votes for the Cy Young. wins are totally irrelevant in judging a pitcher.
[size=10]Manny Ramirez....$20 million
Pedro Martinez....$17.5 million
Curt Schilling...$12 million (and a $2 million bonus)
Never hearing a Yankee fan chant 1918 again...priceless. [/size]

You had respect for them to begin with?
Wins are not totally irrelevant, but they are pretty close to it.
Ollie was good but even with the Red Sox run support he wouldn't deserve the CY (not that it makes a difference to me; but he's not a contender because he's not good enough, not because he doesn't have enough wins).
But yeah, if he had 20 wins there'd be more buzz around his name, just like it is with Schilling in the AL.

How can you flat out say that Ollie isn't good enough? What makes him not as good as Zambrano? Take another look at his stats please
