    Trevor Bauer, Cleveland will be top 5 AL Cy Young voting... Carlos Carrasco is top 10 in the AL too

    Take out Hammels, Shields, Richards, Tanaka... put in Pineda (NYY), Bauer(CLE), Carrasco(CLE), Sanchez (DET)

      Bauer is such an ass bag. Walks way too many people right now.

      I think Tanaka is hurt...Cobb would be in there if he's healthy, but he's not. Carrasco, Tyson Ross should be on the list

          yeah agree on Ross... thats fine if you dont like Bauer (hes a polarizing guy for sure)... he was decent last year, I follow Tribe religiously, and I have high hopes for him. Im not the only one too, the entire organization is excited for him. He was a phenom out of UCLA, but took him a while to develope because he's a hardhead. We will see, he certainly looks great today

            I mean we're talking about a Houston team that has Luis Valbuena batting 3rd and also has been struggling in every game to hit so far.

              Its the 3rd game... I dont care who you are, no hits with 11 Ks through 6 innings in impressive. A lot of people think Houston's offense is loaded with young talent. Altuve, Springer, Carter are all future all stars. Lowrie, Gettis, Rasmus are all solid. Valbueno hitting 3rd is funny tho.... that guy shouldnt even be on a MLB roster

                We'll see... Bauer is not bad, but I don't think he'll be as good as you think this year.

                And Houston may have some talent, but their offense is struggling right now.

                    Keuchel is definately good, forgot abut him. He may have an ERA under 2.50 and not win 10 games though

                      I like Cole from Pittsburgh. Not a big fan of Teheran.

                          Yes indeed...he is in my Top 10.
                          I would have Lance Lynn too and absolutely have to mention DeGrom from Mets!!

                              I'll bet 100 points that mlb beats 12 guys on this list in ERA at the end of the season.

                                        DeGrom is that filthy. He should be there; or in honorable mention.

                                          DeGrom is close. Might be arguable to beat some of the guys on my list. Chris Tillman, however, had a 4.01 FIP last year and a 4.42 FIP in 2013. Pretty mediocre, to be honest. Guy seems to get lucky...

                                            Judging pitchers on ERA is like judging hitters on batting average. Not as helpful as you'd think.
