Is Price leading the Cy Young race?

[Jimcanuck]

Kluber 8 wins, 16 losses, 3.05 xFIP, 5.2 WAR

 

LOL

Should be Kershaw and Sale. They had the best years.

Will be Arrieta and Price.

 

DIPS dogmatist, lol

[Spanky99]

Price will win.

[Krylian]

What stats clearly show that Sale has had the best season...and how to they compare to Price and Kike L.

Article on the topic. Author likes Sale > Keuchel > Price. Commenters no real consensus.

 

Nobody dumn enough to suggest Carrasco.

[Governator]

f*** Sale and his pitching in meaningless games to mediocre opponents.

 

Price all the way.

 

 

Yea and Roger Clemens back-to-back and Roy Halladay. Totally undeserving, f*** them.

[KingKat]

I disagree, considering Sale's K% is the best we've got to see since Randy Johnson in 2003(?). That's a better story for the award imo.

 

I was just researching this and Darvish actually had a higher K rate in 2013.

Was it by much? At the time when I searched he was leading, granted it was at least a week before I even posted that. I went back through year to year.

 

Edit: I see, his last 5 starts of the season were all lower than his season K/9, lowering it down from the 11.9x it was when I was searching.

Baseball Reference has it all in one place: http://www.baseball-reference.com/leaders/strikeouts_per_nine_season.shtml

 

Darvish just edges out Sale for 9th all time. Six of the other top 10 seasons are by Randy Johnson!

There was a thread way back discussing who could reach 300 k's next and I said Darvish. The guy has a whole arsenal of tricks and is maybe the most fun pitcher to watch. At least we were fortunate enough to see the 300 k accomplishment this year though!

But he also walked like twice as many.

[KingKat]

But he also walked like twice as many.

 

Yeah he wasn't as good as Sale but he's damn good all the same.

He's man-crush-worthy, indeed.
