Thought Roy deserved a special thread for this one. Where would my Jays be without this guy. He's a horse. I feel like this guy gets no love outside of Toronto. I know softy has mentioned his respect for this guy, but does anyone else think he deserves Cy Young consideration?

He's been as consistent as anyone all year, but the lack of national exposure (canadian team players have always suffered this) and not going to the postseason will surely hurt his chances.
Verlander from Detroit has to be considered a strong possibility, second behind Liriano in ERA (he's likely done for the year), second in wins, his K's hurt though.
Johan is dealing, too, third in ERA, 1st in Ks, same number of wins as Verlander.
1-Halladay
2-Santana
3-Verlander

Looking at it objectively, Santana should probably win it. Subjectively, I'm cheering for Halladay.

The downside of playing in toronto, so little american press.
How many of the great players in toronto (Overbay, Wells, etc.) get any noticable coverage here?

Yup, that lineup is stacked and you never hear about them. Glaus, Rios, and Molina are having very good years, too...B.J. Ryan...They have a shot next year if they can add some more weapons...

Agreed. The Jays brass can talk like they support Gibbons all the want. But perception is very important. How are they going to pick up any topnotch starting pitchers when the manager is perceived as a loose cannon? The players put on a brave face in front of the camera and say everything is fine, but I truly believe Gibbons has lost the players.
Halladay is the Cy Young at this point in my book

Halladay is my pick, but it's close between him and Verlander. A lot could depend on how they finish, if Halladay can win 20, and if Verlander can stay healthy over the rest of the season. Of course, Santana will get votes, and if Liriano kept going, he might have been your winner.

Why do you say stuff like this? Why even egg him on? He is nowhere in this thread. Stop it already, the more you guys cry about this clown the more you talk about him.
And Jerry, you are no one to talk man with your endless rosy Sox propaganda thoughts. I don't know how many times you rammed the names of Lester, Hansen, and DelCarmen down our throats through the winter and early summer. What happened ??? THEY got nothing but rammed .....

<< <i>I think Johan has this thing pretty much wrapped up... >>
Johan should get it. He may want to thank the Jays bullpen though. Halladay pitched seven innings last night and let in one run and then was removed. Accardo coughed up a grand salami in the 8th. And there went Halladay's 17th win. The bullpen has blown at least five leads for Halladay this year.
Forget blocking him; find out where he lives and go punch him in the nuts. --WalterSobchak 9/12/12

<< <i>Santana should win it, provided the Twins get the wild card. Halladay should finish second. I expect Liriano, Verlander, Kenny Rogers, Barry Zito, Mariano Rivera, Ching Ming Wang and B.J Ryan will all end up in the top ten in voting... >>
I think Papelbon will be part of the top ten

My thoughts exactly. Writer once again I say watch out for the Jays next year, I really have been staying out of baseball threads do to the great collapse of my Red Sox but this thread caught my eye.
