Top 5 – AL Cy Young Candidates

Here’s the way I see the AL Cy Young Race

1. Mark Buehrle White Sox
2. Mariano Rivera Yankees
3. Jon Garland White Sox
4. Kenny Rogers Rangers
5. Johan Santana Twins

Buehrle and Garland may siphon votes off from each other and people may skip voting for Rogers just out of spite (I would be tempted not to vote for him). This may leave the door open for Rivera to win the award. It should be noted that as great as Rivera has been – he’s never finished higher than 3rd in Cy Young voting. The baseball writers may decide to make this a life-time achievement deal.

BTW - This was Roy Halladay's award to win before he got hurt.
