      I imagine Scherzer wins it because a lot of BBWAA writers still like win totals and win percentage.

      My vote will always be King Felix. Best pitcher in the AL.

      Kei Igawa thinks it’s a hoot that two of the top six pitchers in the AL this year are from Japan.

      Although there’s just about zero probability, in a perverse way, I’m hoping Colon wins it. For the Selig embarrassment factor alone.

      @ Evan3457:
      If Fatolo is lights out over the final two months, it would be interesting to see if that impacts the vote.
