If I had a Cy Young vote in the NL, I don't think I'd have any Cubs pitchers in the top 3.  


If Kershaw does come back this month and finishes strong I'd still give it to him, otherwise my vote would be for Fernandez, but it's hard to see the Cy going to a guy who may not crack the top 5 in ERA, dumb as that is.

I reserve the right to revoke this opinion if Jake has a final month as good as what he had last year.

I think Kershaw is out, but Scherzer, Fernandez, Syndeergard and Bumgarner all have arguments over Jake, Lester and Hendricks. 

Fuck it, give it to Thor before his arm falls off.

Syndergaard or Fernandez are a close 1-2, for me. I'd be fine slotting Hendricks third after them -- he's just as qualified from a mix of peripherals and results as Scherzer, Bumgarner or Strasburg in my mind.

Then again, I don't lean as strongly toward WAR/FIP/xFIP for pitcher awards like this. To me, those are more for future evaluation than for this kind of thing.

Yeah it's possible to want the team to win the whole damn thing and for the players to get recognized for their individual accomplishments while also keeping those two things in the proper prioritization.

Furthermore and in addition, I also feel like I should publicly register my agreement with everyone else on this particular topic of conversation too.

Having given this much consideration I might possibly agree.
