Winning Lee

Tom Tango estimates Cliff Lee’s chances of winning 300 games at 10%. That strikes me as generous, as The Favorite Toy puts he chances at 0%. For the probability to be greater than zero, Lee will eventually need to morph into Jamie Moyer, a soft tossing lefty with great control and great command of a number of pitches. That’s quite possible. FanGraphs posts data about Cliff...

Truly Aces

Yesterday Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, and Cole Hamels finished 2nd, 3rd, and 5th respectively in the NL Cy Young Award voting. The trio had an amazing season and much the same can be expected heading into 2012.The Holy Trinity's Collective 2011 Stats:50-23, 95 GS, 17 CG, 7 SHO, 682.1 IP, 121:652 BB:K, 2.51 ERA, 1.02 WHIP.*Picture borrowed from The Zo Zone.

Three Phils starters end up in the top five in the 2011 NL Cy Young Award Balloting.

Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee and Cole Hamels ended up in 2nd, 3rd and 5th place, respectively, in the voting for the 2011 National League Cy Young Award, which was won by Clayton Kershaw of the Dodgers, as most people had expected. Roy Halladay, the ace of the Phils pitching staff, and the winner of the award the previous season (2010), who in 2011 had a record of 19-6 in 32 games...

C.J. Wilson May Take His Straightedge Hipster Act to Anaheim and Pitch for the Angels

As if Cliff Lee ditching the Texas Rangers via free agency in 2010 wasn't a punch in the gut, now it seems C.J. Wilson is about to be a right hook to the nuts of Arlington. The lefty ace and his stupid hipster winter hat/groomsman get-up must be enjoying free agency an awful lot. Rumor has it after a recent trip to California, he's getting awfully chummy with the Los...

Rumors: C.J. Wilson Asking for 6-Years and $120 Million

Yesterday we heard that the Yankees believed the price for starting pitcher C.J. Wilson was too high and it didn’t take long to find out why. Wilson is supposedly looking for a six-year deal worth $120 million, according to Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated. If that’s the asking price for Wilson than it’s easy to see why the Yankees wouldn’t like his price tag. That’s...

The Phils have added four minor-league players to their 40-man roster.

The Phils have announced that they are adding four players from their minor-league system to their 40-man roster to protect them from next month’s Rule 5 draft. The four minor leaguers are right-handed pitcher Phillippe Aumont, left-handed pitcher Jake Diekman, catcher Sebastian Valle and outfielder Tyson Gillies. Aumont and Gillies came to the Phils as part of the Cliff...

2011 NL Cy Young Rankings

The 2011 National League Cy Young Award winner will be announced on Thursday, August 17th. The Diamondbacks' Ian Kennedy, who finished 21-4 with a 2.88 ERA, is expected to finish among the Top 5 in the voting. The winner should be be either the Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw, who led the NL in ERA, Strikeouts, and Wins, or Roy Halladay of the Phillies, who led the league in...

…. Maybe not the best

Clayton Kershaw won the NL Cy Young Award today, edging Roy Halladay. I think it’s pretty obvious that Halladay had a better season. Let’s not forget that Kershaw pitched against the Triple AAA Giants six times, going 5-0 against us, with a line that reads out of a high school newspaper: 42 IP 29 Hits 5 ER 49 SO 0.93 ERA. I think it’s safe to say that pitching against...

Kershaw not my choice, but a deserving one nonetheless

Scott Miller's Cy Young ballot favored Roy Halladay, but Clayton Kershaw is the one who runs away with the award. No argument here. Kershaw's dazzling numbers have many in blue thinking of another Dodgers lefty legend.

Wash Third in Manager of the Year Vote

Just as he has every year that he's been the Rangers' manager, Ron Washington won more games in 2011 than he did the year before. He won the AL West for the second straight season, navigated around the departure of Cliff Lee, dealt with injuries to key members of the team, massaged the hurt feelings of Michael Young and got a career year out of Mike Napoli. It was a very...
