I didnt realize he was at 40. That's crazy considering 40 is an elite relievers total. He may end up with 70, and I can only amagine what a reliever with 70 saves get's in the open market.

| K-Rod has 43 save opportunities and he converted 40 of them. At this pace ce could be the CY Young winner.

if he breaks Thigpens record for saves then I would definitely vote for him. He has over 2 months left and needs 18! haha

Gagne was the last RP to win the Cy Young, and it was a weak group of SP candidates that season. I think if an AL pitcher wins 20 games, then KRod doesnt get the Cy.

I think there are a lot of good candidates out there if they continue the way they have pitched so far, but it might be the year to give it to him...
Here are guys worthy so far:
Cliff Lee
Justin Duchscherer
John Lackey
Ervin Santana
Joe Saunders
Roy halliday
Scott Kazmir
just to name a few

IMO alot here depends on what Cliff Lee does for the remainder of the year. If Lee continues on and wins 20+ games which is looking very likely right now, it'll be mighty tough for K-Rod to win the Cy Young with voters being in love with Ws. Halladay would be my choice right now but he wont win it for the same reason Lee is a front runner (Ws).

If Halladay can get into double digit CG's, then it's over for the rest of the pitchers.I hear broadcasters all over the AL just in amazement as to how he's able to go so deep into games.
If he doesn't have at least 10 CG's, then i agree K-Rod is the choice even over Cliff Lee.
Damn it's been horrible having all 3 on my one fantasy team this season.......lmao

I would hardly call Prior or Schmidt's (I think it was Schmidt) seasons weak. Both had ERA's under 2.50 & struck out a batter per inning or so & had WHIPs near 1.00

Mark Prior
18-6, 245 Ks, 2.43 ERA, 1.10 WHIP
Jason Schmidt
17-5, 208 Ks, 2.34 ERA, 0.95 WHIP
Eric Gagne
55 SVs, 137 Ks, 1.20 ERA, 0.69 WHIP
A solid case could be made for all 3, but I think the combonation of Gagne's 84 consecutive save streak and his almost 2 Ks/IP probably gave him the edge

Thanks for proving my point. Would you still call Schmidt & Prior's numbers weak?

Weak compared to Gagne's, yes.
