JJ needs to be going deeper into games before I think he can be considered a front-runner for the Cy Young award. He currently ranks 9th in Innings Pitched in the NL with 114IP. Halladay leads the pack with 139 IP - a disparity of 25 innings.... If he stops handing the game over to the bullpen, his wins and IP will increase.... which are pretty important.

Does anyone remember what Anibal's fastball routinely clocked in at the past couple years? It seems to me he's throwing the ball harder than he ever has (91-93 mph) making his offspeed stuff more effective... hence going depper into games. Cuz I can't remember the last time (if ever) he's gone back to back games where he's thrown 7 IP. Also, could it be that his arm has finally fully repaired from the torn labrum surgery and this year he's actually been able to strengthen it up??

Huh? What are they coaches somewhere? Galaraga retired a few years ago. Are you talking about the Cook who used to play for the Marlins? I'm sure he's retired by now too. BTW Funny sig. Let's try another one along those lines..... The common cold. Even Gaby can catch it. One of these players is Emilio Bonifacio, and the other is Gaby Sanchez. Can you figure out who is who? A. 14 errors in 213 chances. .610 OPS B. 1 error in 101 chances. .929 OPS So easy, even BroncoBob can do it (well, maybe). How are those IF throwing errors coming along? How many times does Gaby have to replaced for defensive purposes late in the game before his fan base takes notice? How long had Boni been playing 3B in his entire career and how long has Gaby been playing 1B in his? Can't see how those stats, which most say don't show the whole story anyway, show them. To me that comparison is apples and oranges. But if it makes you feel better, please continue. I don't think if you are going to be leading MLB in something it should be errors. I long for the days when you didn't have to throw a strike to 1B to know it was going to be caught. Guess I'm alone on those two things. It's not really Gaby that they are replacing defensively... he's moreso the odd man out when they bring in Barden at 3rd and move Cantu to 1st. They are making that move to improve the D at 3rd and sliding Cantu over to 1st to keep him in the game (because of his tenure/bat). I can't think of a time this season Wes Helms or someone was brought in after the 7th inning to replace Gaby for defensive purposes.
