Every single one of these finalists went over their PTL except Verlander. Some went at least 4 or 5 starts past, and weren't all that penalized by DMB for it, if at all. I almost wrote in Bieber as he's the best candidate among those who stayed under 107% or so (about where a player would be if you got a start with 104% PTL).
I'm not throwing Rod under the bus. I should have included Alonso on the MVP list, so I get it.
I still ended up voting for Cole because he actually did suffer in his last start due - I guess - to DMB's rules. But I was *this close* to writing in Bieber.
