It's kind of insane to pick Cy Youngs this early. I hate all this speculation about MVP, Cy Young, and especially Rookie of the Year. It never turns out how you think it will. The only leginimite prediction I think you can make is Santana for the NL, and while chances are he won't get it, he has had a sub 3 era for so many years in a row now that he's clearly more likely then anyone. In the AL, I guess Halladay and CC, but it's way to early to know. Chances are you're going to be wrong. Why not talk about who the best pitchers are in the game and leave Cy Young out of it?
Edit: Clayton Kershaw bolded? He is supposed to get better, not turn into the best guy in the game. That's a bit ulikely, true there are Cliff Lee's and Linecum's and alll the Cliff Lee or Linecum type guys are more likely to get it combined then Santana, but Santana is much more likely then a single Cliff Lee or Linecum (as in unknown or prospect).

Ok, Greinke is pitching very very well, as is Eric Bedard.

Too early to tell. They could have a breakdown in mid-season

It's too ealry to be preidcting this kind of stuff...

Edit: Just realized that this was #3,000 for me.

Good job, LanceB!

That's definitly a sign that I'm on here too much...
