This is tough, because pitchers can't always have control over their W/L, or their K/BB if they get continueally squeezed, so I would go with ERA as first consideration but I can't predict. I voted for Grienke and Carpenter.

Deldad, I like Weaver. His old youth coach worked with my son when he was little, and he had a great season. Although I don't think he's got a shot I think you've got every right to pick him.

Okay...any day now the Cy Young award will be announced...this is your last opportunity to get in your vote. I may add, post season don't count...it was the body of work during the regular season...
And as the woodman from the 'burbs of Chicago has pointed out...you can only vote more than once if you live in Chicago...in that case, 'vote early and vote often'.

No one else is, either.
