Thank the lord Giancarlo Stanton is back. 2 HRs tonight in only his 2nd game back from surgery. The Marlins are somewhat watchable now.

We should get a new poll up. MVP, or Cy Young maybe.

Boston_Boyy
For MVP I think Trout in the AL, and McCutchen in the NL. Cano will be runner up in the AL, Holliday in the NL. For Cy...Weaver in the AL, Cain in the NL. It'd be cool to see Kimbrel or Chapman in the discussion at the end of the year. Honorable mentions: Gonzalez and Cueto in the NL, and King Felix and JV in the AL.

It'd be kinda cool if Johnny Cueto could finish strong and take the NL CY. Of all the teams that were around in 1956 (the year they first started giving out the CY), Cincinnati is the only one remaining to have never won.

Oleg_Huzwog

No traditional 3-out closers should be considered for any award if you ask me. He may pitch what? A quarter to a third of the innings of what the starters wil this year?

Cueto is a starter. (Or were you responding to the Kimbrel comment?)

New Poll up. Relievers should not get Cy Young consideration except for some extreme cases. And I agree, Trout and McCutchen should be the favorites.

Oh, yeah. I meant to reply to the Kimbrel comment anyway. Cueto would be a fine choice, the point remains for Kimbrel though.

I don't think a "ban" should be imposed on closers. Should they be favored to win over Starters? No. But if a closer puts up monster numbers, why shouldn't they be involved in the discussion?

To answer the pole, I'd say it is a toss up between Price and Sale, but ultimately I would go with Price.

He signed a 3-year/27 million dollar. Definitely not 38 million, unless there was an option year I wasn't aware of.

And yeah, you don't give up on him. Relievers are very erratic in terms of performance. They can be amazing for a couple years, have a stink year, and then suddenly be great again. I do think the Marlins try to move him in the offseason though.

Bobby might be a jerk and the wrong manager for that team but the existing culture in that clubhouse is uncoachable I think. If you aren't going to please them, then the team needs to be imploded.

It should be 0, but management might have too much pride to admit their mistake until the middle of next year or later.

Oh, I didn't mean you give up on him. I think he can be great again. The big contract brought on unwanted expectations most likely, and he fell to the pressure. I just know yoko isn't the..biggest fan.

I agree with this. The team seems to have no chemistry, are totally unlikable, and ya...if you don't please them, it won't work. There just seems to be a new issue every day. It seems they still haven't gotten over his comment on Youk. Wonder how this effects Ortiz and free agency...no way he wants to part of that mess again, could he?

New poll!!!, I know R.A. Dickey's name is misspelled in the title but the stupid censor is doing his work. Anyways, I think Cueto is the favorite considering his significant WAR lead, tied for the lead in wins and second in ERA plus being on a 1st place team.

I really hope not. I'd like him to stay here for a while, longer than 3 years. I really like him as a manager, does some great things. For the poll: RA Dickey, even though I said Cain earlier.

At least he admitted that he just flat out used it, but still, what a weiner.

Losing Melky Cabrera for the rest of the season will really hurt the Giants. I don't think the Dodgers will have any problem dominating the NL West from here on out. The Giants still have some hope with the wild-card though.

Mhmm. I hope another team makes some sort of surprise push for him if he gets to FA. Maybe the Nats, Jays, or even Texas. Maybe he resigns, says he loves playing there. I assume the ridiculous price on acquiring him via trade went way up today. But they've been pretty firm on not moving him anyways.

Yep, and it's not just lip-service when he says that. He's always had that attitude. When they signed him as a teenager out of Venezuela, he actually signed for less money just so he could pitch for the Mariners. Multiple teams had offered more money, but for whatever reason, he always wanted to go to Seattle. I don't understand why, but I certainly won't complain.

I would be very surprised if Hernandez and the M's don't try to work out a contract extension prior to the 2014 season.

Very scary stuff at the Rogers Centre tonight. A fan was having CPR performed on him and carted off on a stretcher while still receiving CPR.

Coming from a Mariners fan, I think the chances of Felix resigning with Seattle are pretty high. He loves playing here, and he's the face of the franchise. The Mariners are cutting payroll, but I don't think they'll cheap out when it comes to resigning their staff ace.

They should probably extend his punishment for obstruction of justice.
