Who Will win AL and NL CY Young?
Mini Buddah- Fantasy Guru:
AL - Felix Hernandez. A sub 3.50-ERA each of the past 4 years, 211 K's per year over that same time-frame, and only an average of 13.75 W's? That shows how bad the Mariners offense is...however the addition of Jesus Montero can ONLY help them, and help Felix get back over .500 for 2012.
Austin Mayland:
For AL Cy Young, I’m going with Jered Weaver. Even though his strikeouts were down, his ERA was down a half a point and hits per nine innings was also down. Not really going out on a limb with this pick, but I feel with the AL West being so weak combined with their lineup, his confidence has to be higher than anyones.
For NL Cy Young, I’m going with Josh Johnson. Johnson, has some of the best stuff in the game. Last season before he got hurt he was 3-1 with a 1.65 ERA with 56 strikeouts. If he stays healthy this year, he should easily be the top pitcher in the NL.
Zac Cordova:
AL: David Price- Great defense, very good offense, and I
think he is still getting better. Sabathia has a rapidly aging left side of the
infield behind him, Felix plays for the Mariners, Verlander will regress, and
the Angels will steal votes from each other.
NL: Roy Halladay-
Honestly, its just the easy choice.
Justin Millar:
AL: David Price. Price is 26 and could have a career year this year. Price's k/9 rate has also increased each of the last 3 seasons and strikeout pitchers tend to win the award.
NL: Madison Bumgarner . Bumgarner's splits tend to point to a big improvement in the second half of 2011. He raised his K/9 from 7.9 to 8.9 and lowered his ERA by over a full point.
