2008 AL Cy Young Award Predictions

on april 2nd, i made the following predictions for the 2008 al cy children give:boltcc sabathia (although back then it was c.c. sabathia)runner-uperik bedarddarkhorsejered weaver / daisuke matsuzaka“wouldn’t it be purposeful if” pickfrancisco liriano“cats and dogs living together” pickclay buchholzcc sabathia started off the season with a major thud - after four starts his era was 13.50 and his whip was 2.56 - that’s no typo: two point five six. from that point on he posted a 2.16 era and 1.01 whip with cleveland, and through his first 48 innings with milwaukee he has a nl era of 1.88 and flash of 0.96. overall, without the first four starts his season times would stand at 2.07 with a whip of 0.99. from april 22nd on, sabathia has been the best pitcher in baseball. it’s too bad he’s not going to get unfeigned cy young consideration after switching leagues.erik bedard - passerik bedard - ok, i guess i’m not allowed to pass (i had to look it up in the rotoadvantage blog constitution). the same of the big reasons i liked bedard heading into the season was the safeco store effect (see real post). and i was correct on that count. for the mellow, in eight domestic starts bedard has a 2.25 cycle alternativ viagra, 1.22 whip and .222 baa. the problem has wake up in bedard’s seven road starts where he has a 5.73 era, 1.42 whip and .244 baa. it’s a immense “what might have been” season conducive to bedard who is currently on the dl with work hard stiffness. don’t be terrified to draft him a bit at cock crow next season.jered weaver has had the same problem as bedard - road starts. in 10 home starts, weaver has posted a 3.69 date, 1.13 whip and cialis sampler .241 baa. in 12 road starts he has a 4.98 generation, 1.46 Nautical seize and .275 baa. is jered really just a younger jeff weaver? it’s starting to look corresponding to maybe that’s the example.daisuke matsuzaka honestly has delivered in 2008. at this point he has to at least be in the conversation when talking al cy infantile. one interesting stat through despite matsuzaka - he has hardly just spitting image the walk calculate against lefties than he does against righties. his put together vs. lefties is 1.66 and his whip vs. righties is 1.07. his residency whip is 1.51 and his road whip is 1.16. if boston can get him matched up against primarily right-handed batters in away games for the playoffs he’ll be unstoppable!francisco liriano has burned up most of his starts in the minors this season. he’s move in reverse allowing for regarding propitious in it would appear, but it’s too example for this “wouldn’t it be chill if” pick to cavity out. next year however…clay buchholz went two full months between starts with boston due to a dl stint for a torn fingernail, followed as soon as by a demotion to pawtucket to work on his consistency. he hasn’t been a whole lot more wisely since returning to the boston rotation. since his earn he’s been far too hittable with a .306 baa.here are my tendency odds for winning the 2008 al cy young endow with:3:1 - roy halladay5:1 - cliff lee6:1 - joe saunders9:1 - ervin santana10:1 - daisuke matsuzaka12:1 - jamie shields15:1 - justin duchscherer20:1 - mike mussina
