official cy young awaiting thread (now featuring MVP TALK)

18 wins with 40 games left to go. he's got a chance to really drive up his trade value.

i think he should be in the mvp talks. i guess the front runners are gonzo and granderson, but it'd be hard to argue that anyone has been more important to their team the jv.

Pitchers aren't MVP's.

[b-diddy]

except when they are.

Those at-bats Verlander had with all those grand slams.

[b-diddy]

all those scoreless innings bautista and granderson threw.

[b-diddy]

do pitchers get paid less than hitters?

[b-diddy]

weaver gave up 6 in 5, meaning verlander now leads in ERA. he's in line to win the pitching crown, and is in first in pretty much every noteworthy pitching category. wins, era, k's, whip, innings pitched.
