Hanley Ramirez

If you want to say dumb things, you can't get mad when I call you dumb.

Justin Verlander

Enough hitters with flaws that I’ll take the top pitcher.

Didn’t want to crowd the votes. Verlander over Halladay for top pitcher? Care to explain?

Personal opinion I suppose.

Verlander: 24-5, 2.40 ERA, 251 innings, 250 Ks, 57 bbs, .92 WHIP, 4.39 K/BB, 9 K/9
Halladay: 19-6, 2.35 ERA, 233.2 innings, 220 Ks, 35 bbs, 1.04 WHIP, 6.28 K/bb, 8.5 K/9

And Verlander is six years younger which makes me feel a little safer I suppose.

I like both of them but...

could Verlander have had a stand out year in 2011.
Their 3 year averages going into 2011
Verlander: 16-12, 3.84 ERA, 222 IP, 221 K, 74 BB, 1.24 WHIP, 2.9 K/BB, 8.8 K/9
Halladay: 19-10, 2.67 ERA, 245 IP, 211 K, 35 BB, 1.07 WHIP, 6.1 K/BB, 7.7 K/9

Halladay’s numbers look pretty much the same for 2011 but Verlander’s became much better in 2011 than his average.

I guess I’m being devil’s advocate because I’ve never owned Halladay and almost always grab Verlander. I do like the fact that Verlander is six years younger.

Bingo

Safer? I’m not sure anyone is safer than Halladay. He’s healthy and has been for a while. He’s improving which is scary to think. Verlander didn’t improve all that much last season. BABIP really swings how he performs and the Detroit defense is pretty shaky.
