I'd flip flop 1 and 2 in the NL Cy Young. Jurrjens has got 1 more win and an ERA over half a run better than Halladay.

Tough call. Pitches in one of the few pitchers' parks out there and Halladay has 6 CGs.

It is. Right now, I have to give it Halladay. But if JJ continues to this pace, he should win.

Turner Field is actually a lot more of a neutral park than people think. I think ultimately it will be Halladay, but looking at the numbers, it's hard for me to not say Jurrjens at this point.

It isn't neutral on a relative basis.

Turner is a very slight hitters park, following trends over the past few years. As to BPV's statement, the home teams pitching/fielding, or lack thereof, will skew a park factor slightly.

Just comparing it to Halladay's band box.

Blew my mind as well.
Turner is pretty close to what I expected. CBB . . . not so much.

Not sure how you justify Freeman over Kimbrel. Kimbrel has already broken the rookie record for saves before the All-Star break.
