Mailbag: Is Cook Cy Young worthy?
Mets Today (Free subscription) | 04/10/2008
Who do you think will / should win the NL MVP, Cy Young, Rookie of the Year, Manager of the Year, Comeback Player of the Year, and every other individual achievement award? (Since the American League doesn’t play baseball, but some distorted version of it using substitute hitters and other such anomalies, we won’t discuss their [...]

Every year, the SB Nation baseball editors vote in polls to determine their MVP, Cy Young, etc. The first of these awards were announced yesterday, being for Manager of the Year. The AL award went - no great surprise - to Joe Maddon of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, in an almost-unanimous decision. The NL award was a bit more split, with six different managers receiving first-place votes. In the...

In other words, NL baseball ROOLZ!!!!! Not that I am exactly a Brett Myers fan, but the guy has provided more excitement and runs at the plate than he has with his pitching. I enjoyed his 9 and 10 pitch ABs vs Cy Young wannabe Sabathia more than ANY hitting display. And today he created 1 more [...]

Pete Caldera / NorthJersey.com : Yanks interested in Peavy — Free agency isn't the Yankees' only route toward restocking their starting rotation. — If the Padres are rebuilding, then unanimous 2007 NL Cy Young award winnner Jake Peavy might ask to relocate. And, in the right scenario, the 27-year-old right-hander could switch leagues.

From Pete Caldera (The Record): Free agency isn’t the Yankees’ only route toward restocking their starting rotation. If the Padres are rebuilding, then unanimous 2007 NL Cy Young award winnner Jake Peavy might ask to relocate. And, in the right scenario, the 27-year-old right-hander could switch leagues. “We’ve talked about it,” Peavy’s agent, Barry Axelrod, said by phone [...]

Well, I suppose now is as good a time as any to throw my hat into the ring with regards to the MVP, Cy Young and Rookie of the Year discussions. It's only one man's opinion, and I'm sure many will take issue with some of these selections, but ultimately it's all just fuel for the fire. AL MVP Joe Mauer: .328/.413/.451, 9 HR, 85 RBI, 98 R This was a tough pick as no one stands out too much among...

JOE TORRE TELLS the story in the same fatherly way he tells most stories. The kid was 24 years old, in his second full season in the big leagues, proud owner of a 21-8 regular-season record and Cy Young aspirations. He already had pitched in four postseason games, but this was the World Series, and in the biggest game of his life he got smoked. By the time Torre pulled him in the top of the...

It’s the time of year for my favorite debates, and I’m not talking about the town hall kind, but the MVP and CY Young ones (I’m leaving out the Rookie of the Year picks because, really, anything other than Soto and Longoria is kind of insane). I was all set to do some really hardcore stat-nerd [...]

He's 27 years old, was a unanimous winner of the 2007 NL Cy Young Award, has averaged 192 innings and 194 strikeouts in six full seasons in the majors, and is under contract through 2011. I don't know, but it seems like the only way Jake Peavy could be a more perfect fit for the pitching-hungry Braves would be if he were a native Southerner. What's that? He was born in, raised in, and still...

Something new. Every year, SB Nation has its bloggers fill out ballots for MVP, Cy Young, Rookie of the Year and Manager of the Year awards for the league in which their team plays. While those awards will be released in a few weeks, I thought it might be fun to do a few community awards based solely on the Twins. Today we'll start with Bummer of the Year. Injuries and poor statistical seasons...

Now that we have had a few days to soak in the final ramifications involved with dealing away last season’s Cy Young award winner, I felt that it was appropriate to discuss the Tribe’s newest addition: Michael Brantley. If you had read any of my takes on the trade prior to last week, you were likely [...]
