When the season is over Santana may prevail, or he may not, but based on what has happened from April 1st to June 4th, Peavy is the man.
You are aware that they don't give out Cy Young Awards for the first third of the season.
And except for 1979, they don't give out playoff births either.

Originally posted by Red NightWere you dropped on your head as a child? That would certainly account for your inability to comprehend my simple point. The rest of the season, at this point, is an unknown variable. Anything could happen, but we don't know what. Santana could be hit by a meteorite for all we know. What is certain, however, is that as of June 4th, Peavy's stats have been better than Santana's. Therefore, at this point in time, Peavy has had a better year. It's pointless for you to jabber on like a monkey about what COULD happen in the coming months. I don't care. It is irrelevant to the question at hand.

Actually the name of the forum is who is the best pitcher in baseball. I was not suggesting Santana would win the Cy Young award if the season ended today, but if you look at the last few years and what I would expect to happen for the rest of the year, if I could have any pitcher in 2007 starting right now, I'd take Santana.

Originally posted by rwingettThis year could also include June, July, August, September and October of 2006. Why don't you do a quick re-evaluation of the pitchers' stats for us and I might reconsider. Otherwise, you're still very, very wrong.

If you want to take it to mean something else then you can go start your own thread. Otherwise you'll be subjected to a constant barrage of my overweening pomposity.

Originally posted by darvlayNot even RBHill would be foolish enough to try to include months from last year into the definition of 'this year.' They may do it in hockey, but that don't fly in baseball.

I stand by the statement that PEAVY has been the best pitcher in baseball so far this year. All you Grima Wormtongues from the Santana fan club are just wasting your time.
