I would go with Ray, even though he came up small against the Yankees. His numbers are better than Cole and he wasn't ever involved in any discussions related to sticky stuff.
Ditto. I soooooo wanted to give him demerits for that fucking grunt. Of course Eovaldi does the same thing but for some reason it's less bothersome.
It's kind of amazing that the White Sox have four plausible CY candidates.
Lynn: best ERA with 2.69 among pitchers with 150 IP.
Cease: best K/9 at 12.28 among SP with a 150 IP.
Rodon: best ERA with 2.37 among pitchers with 130 IP. best K/9 among pitchers with 130 IP. 4.9 fWAR in only 132 IP!
Giolito: all around great season. With a bit more HR/FB luck, he might have had the best line of all of them.
I would have voted for Frankie Montas because people on this board think the Red Sox can't develop pitching, but he wasn't on there, so I voted for Robbie Ray, who made two more starts and 12 more IP than Cole and had comparable rate numbers.
