I figure 20 wins, 3.90 ERA is worthy of consideration.

If anybody can ever get out of that place with an ERA under 3.50 and 15 wins, he DESERVES the Cy Young.

Check @ Baseball America.com  They might have someone with the records. \n\nThey focus on minor league, collegiate, and high school baseball.

Also don't forget that Babe Ruth was an all-star pitcher for the first 2 or 3 years of his baseball career, so bonds hasn't matched anything in my mind.  If he can go out and win 20 games in the next 2 or 3 years pitching the baseball then he may have matched the record. Even at that he is a steroid using cheater.

No, I don't think so; I think that honor belongs to the 2004 ALCS. The Yankees are a good team, no question, but when your team is the first in Major League Baseball history to lose a series when ahead 3-0, that has to be a low point in any team's existence.

i think he will be a very good pitcher one of these days just give him time. he may be like ted lilly give you 10 to 12 wins and give u 6 or 7 inns a night just give him time

its stat accumulation basically. Depends on the settings of your league...or which style roto or h2h. so if u have a 5x5 league... the catagories are hits,runs,home runs,stolen bases and batting average offensively. Its wins, saves, K's era and whip for pitchers. so offensively you want the most hits,runs etc and pitching you want most wins saves k's but lowest era and whip.

Assume it's a 5x5, 12-team league, this teams is pretty good.  I think you have advantages on categories SB, R and  AVG.  Pitchers are above average, they should be able to give you enough wins and saves.  It's a playoff team I think.

Yes,and they will only get better right now the Tigers have the best young pitching staff in the major leagues.I can see the Tigers winning it all within the next 3 years.

well, Gordon and Suzuki are no where close to Lackey and Cordero, and since you said you have 4 outfielders, I guess you are set. You are gonna hurt a lil in AVG and Hits, but if Ichiro has another off year lik '05, you'll end up looking like a very smart man. Gordon is nothin but a set-up man. If your league counts Holds as a category then he's fine, but other than that K/9 and ERA is about it.... You come off on top.

He played last year in Toledo at AAA level,  he played a whole four innings in the whole season.  He had a ERA of 2.25.  I'm not sure if he is playing this season but I'm guessing no. Was that good enough for you?

Hold onto that thing for as long as you can.  It's going to be worth A LOT if he keeps putting up these kinds of #s and goes into the Hall of Fame.

higher batting average is better\nlower era is better

Pretty good.  I say 8 out of 10.  I don't know what's your league settings but you guys seems ot play a lot of players.\n\nYou might want to get a better SS if you have someone to trade out.\n\nYour SPs could be a problem, basically, they don't draw wins.  Seattle and Nationals are bad.  Liriano is not starting and Twins are bad this year too.  I can see that you are focusing on SV, ERA and WHIP, but there is always a good chance the ERA and WHIP will burst with few pitching innings.  Just be careful.

Cy Young's 511 career wins. In the modern era 300 wins is considered a lock for the hall of fame. Just think, it would take 20 seasons of 25 wins to reach 500... then you're still another half season away. The active player closest to him - Roger Clemens with 341 wins. He'd have to pitch 8 more 20+ win seasons to get there. It'll never be broken.

At least 20 sound great to me too! Go Tiger.......

If our pitching stays the course, yes.\n\nThe Tigers have the LOWEST era in MLB.\n\nI can't wait to visit "The Cell" and return the favor (sweeping them at home).\n\nIt is going to be an interesting year.\n\nHistory has shown the WS champs hardly repeat, so to all you white sox fans that "claim" you can repeat, I say "Good Riddance!"\n\nWe'll talk more in September.

I would. I think that Randy Johnson will have a down year and retire at the end of the season. His fastball is not what it used to be. Hudson is good but Hunter and Byrd make up for that lose. Texiera is the key. His stats have gone up every year and will continue to go up in the ballpark he plays in. He is a good bet to give you a .300 avg. 45 hr and 135 rbi, Sweeney doesn't.
