    NL MVP: Albert Pujols - Runner Up: Ryan Howard
    NL Cy: Cris Carpenter - Runner Up: Tim Lincecum
    NL ROY: J.A. Happ (Pitcher) and Garrett Jones (Hitter)
  • Is Happ still considered a rookie? I thought he had more than 45 days on a big league roster before 2009.

    Sabathia's had a great year, but if he wins the Cy over Greinke because of where they play, it will be a travesty.

    Agreed. If Greinke played for the Yankees this year and pitched the same, he wins 25 games.

    I would vote for Hanson for N.L. ROY.



    W L W-L% ERA G GS IP H R ER HR BB IBB SO ERA+ WHIP H/9 HR/9 BB/9 SO/9 SO/BB
    11 4 .733 2.98 20 20 100.2 100 41 40 10 44 1 107 140 1.193 7.5 0.7 3.3 8.0 2.43


    I could make the statistical argument that Hanson has been better (more strikeouts, fewer HRs, better WHIP). Both pitchers have been terrific. The tiebreaking factor is that I am a Braves fan.

    Sabbathia should finish 4th, behind Grienke, Felix Hernandez, and Verlander.

    But if he wins 20, there's no way he finishes 4th and probably not even 3rd.

    ESPN has him listed as a rookie and when I look at his game log for 2008 it looks like most of his appearances were in September of last year and my understanding is that the 45 days on a big league roster only applies when it's part of the 25-man roster limit . . . in other words, September call-ups don't count against that 45 day period.

    If he was on the roster at other times and didn't play then you're right. I just don't know how to look that up without trying to track down every transaction he's been involved with over the last two years.
