Will Cliff Lee win the Cy Young?

Question

Cliff Lee is having one h**l of a season. Being a Tribe fan, despite playing somewhat okay since the All-Star Break, we don't have much to enjoy except Cliff Lee and Sizemore. Lee won again today, going 7 innings and giving up 2 ER for his 18th win. Do you think he will win the Cy Young?

Answer 1

He has my vote

Answer 2

I think it would be great if he did.  My dad is a fan of the Tribe, so I have always had a soft spot for them.  If Lee were to win it, it would be a heck of a story.  To think, he was so bad last year that he got sent down to the minors.  Honestly though, I think Halladay deserves the award.  To me, wins and losses are arbitrary.  Many factors can affect a win or a loss.  A starting pitchers job is to throw as many innings as he can while giving up the least amount of runs possible. This gives his team a chance to win and helps to keep the bullpen fresh.  Under my criteria, Halladay is the clear choice for the AL CY Young Award.

Answer 3

Yes, most dominant pitcher in the AL right now.

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

18-2 despite being on a team that isnt so great this year, i say h**l yeah.  Add that to the fact that the cy young is very win biased, it nearly always goes to the starter with the most wins, unless a closer has an era of like, .32

Answer 6

He is doing very well but C.C is making a lot more noise then him

Answer 7

I think he DEFINITELY will. He is pitching so well, and will lead the al in wins despite being on a struggling team.

Answer 8

I think he is the front runner in the eyes of many and he will probably win it BUT I don't think he should. I believe Roy Halladay should win.

Cliff Lee 18-2 Roy Halladay 14-9(before today) Cliff Lee's ERA is only better by .20 points about and Roy Halladay has 25 more K's but the most important thing I see is that Roy Halladay keeps the Blue Jays mediocre bullpen from having to go out there too much. Cliff Lee has 6 complete games in his career...Roy Halladay has 8 this year. But I'm still pretty sure that Cliff Lee will win even though Roy Halladay has pitched somewhat better and been more valuable to the Blue Jays who have a better record than the Indians.

Answer 9

I would have to believe he is the front runner in the AL

Answer 10

He should.  He's having a great year on a not-so-great team.

Answer 11

Oh yes he will definitely win the AL Cy Young. 18-2 is the best nest to Burnett's 16 wins. The guys is a beast and it is unfortunate he is on a dead team this year.

Answer 12

LANDSLIDE !!!!!

Answer 13

I've answered this question probably 20 times the last few weeks and everytime I say that Cliff Lee will win the Cy Young award for the AL.

Answer 14

Hands down, I think Cliff Lee's gonna snag the Cy Young by a landslide.

Obviously, the NL Cy Young's gonna go to Brandon Webb.

Answer 15

It appears "Will Cliff Lee win the Cy Young" is this week's "How can they still trade after the trade deadline" question, a question that's asked literally every five minutes. I wonder why you people don't take a second and look at the other questions, only a few ahead of you and see your questions get asked multiple times a day.

Yes, for the 46th time today, Lee will win the Cy Young.

Answer 16

He is the front runner. Hes gonna win. Im disappointed that Halladay isnt gonna win even though he deserves it.

Answer 17

YES!!!

Answer 18
