    He'll certainly get votes. Not many guys can be both a middle relief gem and frontline starter all in the same season.

        King Felix's Cy Young might make us think that voters have gotten over wins, but they haven't completely. Kershaw's lack of wins, especially on an underperforming team expected to win more, hurt him. That said, and I own Kershaw and love his game, but even I'm okay with him finishing 2nd to Dickey this year.

          Why do K's matter?
          "I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth."

            If you are Jim Leyland do you want Verlander striking people out or hitting grounders to that infield?

              Because throwing a pitch and having the greatest hitters in the world either swing and miss it, or think it's not going to be a strike, is among the most difficult achievements in baseball.

                K's are the best representation of pitching dominance
