E CaT PanTHer Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 If we're just looking at wins, obviously Jimenez has the edge over JJ. But if the season ended today, I feel JJ is more deserving of the Cy Young. Both have started 17 games and both have almost identical innings pitched. JJ: 8-3, 1.82 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, 83 hits, 23 ER, 4 HR's, 27 BB, 115 K's, Jimenez: 14-1, 2.27 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, 84 hits, 30 ER, 6 HR's, 44 BB, 107 K's, JJ leads in almost every category. Also, Jimenez has about 0.5 more run support than JJ has had in his starts. It's obviously early, but I feel JJ is definitely more deserving right now.

Eddie Altamonte Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Whatever going by history they will probably give it to Linincecum anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmo Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I'll tell you what, if JJ keeps up this pace and keeps his ERA and WHIP close to what it is now, I don't see why he shouldn't have the best chance. Ubaldo has already begun to show some signs of faltering off his epic start while JJ has been solid most of the season so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UgglaLuva Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dim Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 A little early for Cy Young talk. Let's keep the discussion to who should start the all star game for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schnellders Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Cannot forget Roy "7 Complete Games" Halladay in the Cy Young discussions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think he should have won it last year he benefitted from the Cardinals splitting votes He benefited from leading the league in Ks, finishing in the top 5 in HR/9, WHIP, W, IP. H/9, CG, SHO. Nobody else had as complete a resume as him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt that Carpenter was more deserving but that is like preferring chocolate to peanutbutter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMarlinPride Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Right now the top candidates have to be in no particular order: J.J., Ubaldo, Wainwright, Latos, Halladay, Gallardo, Garcia, Husdon. To name a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 Itd be nice to see JJ help his cause with a no-hitter... or 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
