We've come a long way, baby
Current Bill James Cy Young standings, AL:
B.Colon 150.75
M.Rivera 140.80
M.Buehrle 137.51
J.Garland 131.44
J.Nathan 124.94
At this point last season we were celebrating the fact that Bart had managed two decent starts in a row.
UPDATE: I should note for those of you who haven't read the associated article by Bill James ( "E=M Cy Squared", found in the Neyer/James Guide to Pitchers) that the formula does not purport to find the player most deserving of winning the award. Rather, it's an attempt to predict who will win the award. Thus, like every good sports writer, the formula overvalues team performance.
