Remember him? He was the catcher for Wood's 20K game. Poor, poor Sandy. ^ Kind of like Sandy Martinez. Remember him? He was the catcher for Wood’s 20K game.

Poor, poor Sandy.

As much as I hate to say nice things about him, he has made a tremendous impact on that team and has been consistently good all season. Probably the biggest impact pitcher on a contending team that has been there and performing consistently well all year. After that, you've got to go with Lincecum, Webb or Dempster... and they are not going to give it to Dempster cause Cliff Lee is going to win in the AL and the writers just won't be able to handle to non-star names in one year. Maybe someone should suggest Soto for the NL Cy Young. I mean no actual pitcher has separated himself from the rest, but this guy has been the one consistent fixture for the NL's best staff top-to-bottom and all in his first year. His first year that coincides with incredible performances in new roles by Dempster and Wood. Soto has to get a little credit for their breakthroughs and the continued performance of our other hurlers. Just a silly thought.

Even when they hand them out it's a joke, it's a wait and see type of deal even a great pitcher on a bad team could get it. For C.C. to get the Cy is a joke.
