Come back next week for analysis of recent Rangers trades.
How can you say Wang is the Cy Young winner over Johan Santana? Santana has the same record (16-5), a better ERA (2.95), and about a zillion more K's (207).
ReplyDeleteI say Wang because he actually is in the playoffs unlike Santana.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I do it as if the season was to end right now.
ReplyDeleteGood picks Grant. A few of the guys you picked are really hot right now and may cool off a bit before the end of the season, but if the season were to end today I think many of your picks would win. Wang vs. Santana is an interesting argument. There are good reasons for both.
