    Nice stats Nash, if Hernandez didn't get shelled in his last start and the Mariners collapse down the stretch it's for sure his. Now there is a strong case for Kluber.

    I'd go slightly Hernandez, very slightly.

    They should give the AL Cy young to Kershaw.

    Didn't Felix win it one year with 13 wins?

    Not only did King puke down the stretch (dead arm)
    Kluber was freaking lights out down the stretch.

    And.....
    Kluber has the higher WAR(p) as well

    Kluber should win this hands down but its probably going to be a popularity contest and he will get screwed.My thing is Hernandez craps the bed in his last start when the Mariners needed him to step up and win that game in Toronto and he gets rocked.Kluber has been untouchable in his last few starts and double digit strikeouts to boot.

    I'd vote for the kid, Kluber. He deserves it. Just my thoughts.

    Kluber for sure. Also remember that Felix throws half his games in a hitters worst nightmare - Safeco Field. Progressive Field isn't exactly a hitter park, but still.

    Tough call. Felix will probably get it due to the popular vote. Could go either way. It may come down to King Felix's start tomorrow.

    I will be very sad if Corey Kluber gets screwed out of this. He should get most improved player and AL Cy Young.

    Felix wins and it won't even be close.
    Kluber will have to show he can do it more than one year.
    They aren't going to give it to him for one good season most likely. Felix is established.
    Kluber has been in my stable since the beginning, knew that kid was solid.

    Baseball suffered through its worst year in decades

    No clear cut winner actually

    Nobody was devastating

    Why even discuss this now? Felix still has one more game.

    But the one game left Felix has to pitch in Sunday is not relevant, as his team is going nowhere after tomorrow.
    Now, if Felix pitched like Felix the past few weeks, the game would be relevant, but thanks to Felix, it is not.

    Why would MLB care if Felix won again?

    Youre probably right. They don't care.

    He could have a meaningful game tomorrow if Rangers win tonight and Mariners win.
