2018 MSB Cy Young Award Voting
The candidates for the 2018 MSB Cy Young Award come down to just 3 pitchers. Certainly, one might be tempted to write-in Justin Verlander, Lance Lynn, or Clayton Kershaw, but I’d be willing to bet the only owners who’d do that were those players’ GMs.
The numbers are hard to argue with regarding what we can call “the big three” for MSB in 2018 (in no particular order): Max Scherzer (Hogs); Corey Kluber (Landlubbers); and Chris Sale (Nomads). All three are in the top 10 in nearly every single major category: Wins, ERA, Strikeouts, BAA, OBP, SLG, Hits per 9, Runners per 9, and Quality Starts. In fact, in 5 of those 9 categories, these 3 pitchers make up the top 3, in varying orders.
I’ll let each of you check out the numbers for yourselves using the DMB database or this website (front page, bottom left, league statistics), and a write-in vote option is provided if you’re so inclined. Please select "write-in," then use the comments section to name your player.
Voting is open for 7 days. Once you vote, you will then be able to see the current results in real time.
