This season has seen a lot of regular Cy Young award candidates– Matt Cain, Cole Hamels and Roy Halladay, to name a few– have uncharacteristically poor years, while some guys you would never expect– Matt Harvey, Jose Fernandez, Patrick Corbin and Hyun-Jin Ryu, among others– are creeping into the conversation. All of the confusion of who is actually good and who is just having a breakout year makes the question of who deserves the NL Cy Young a bit more complicated. Added to that, some guys have all of the intangibles to be named the best pitcher of the National League, but don\’t have the wins to back it up or don\’t play on a playoff-bound team. So, who do you name the Cy Young this year?
