i feel like

porcello has a strong shot to have a better second half than any of those pitchers. he could definitely be in the mix, no?

At least its a race in the AL

The NL one is over. J.A. Happ might as well have the trophy mailed to him.

What are the rookie requirements?

According to BR, Happ threw about 35 innings before this year…

I heard that they’re limiting Porcello’s innings? And plus recently he’s had some struggles.

Looks like a race between Romero and Bailey.

Remember to retire Fin's number, Mark.

50 IP for pitchers, 130 AB for position players

will end up winning it, but right now Romero and Bergesen are fighting it out. Bailey is having a very nice season, but I think his teammate Brett Anderson has been more valuable than him. Then again, I place much more weight on SP than relievers.
