Corey Kluber - AL Cy Young?

Discuss...

 

Second straight 14 K game yesterday. Has posted a 7 WAR (0.9 WAR more than King Felix) along with a 2.59 xFIP and 258 K's vs 49 BB's. I think he gets my vote.

Yes, despite my irrational dislike for him because silvergun.

Cleveland has generated several Cy Young winners this past decade with Cliff Lee, CC Sabathia and now possibly Corey Kluber.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Deserves it, yes.

 

Felix probably gets it though because the voters will be swayed by his lower ERA and reputation.

True, but Kluber has 17 wins and has a chance for 18, something that also sways the voters.

I don't think thats the case anymore. Felix, himself won it with 12 or 13 wins IIRC.

If a pitcher's starts aren't being converted into wins, then why should that pitcher win the Cy young, since the purpose of baseball is to win games. I am all for new stats, like FIP better than ERA

 

but wins tell a lot about the picture. They tell us whether or not the pitcher is a winner

I'm not really back, also this board is not worthy of my illustrious polls.

Damn I had no idea who this guy was before seeing this thread.

[jaysblue]

I love Kluber!

[burlingtonbandit]

Has to be the most underrated player in the MLB. I don't think I've heard Kluber been mentioned outside Twitter and this forum.
