Well deserved for a guy who has not been given an easy path to get to where he is. Proud as heck to have had a chance to watch him on those great UT teams and now as one of the best in the game. Congratulations R.A!

His chances are good IMO. I think it comes down to him and Gio Gonzalez of the Nationals. I could also see Clayton Kershaw LAD and Johnny Cueto of the Reds being in the mix. I think Gio gets it over Dickey only because his team will be playing in the post season.

Dickey GS-33, W/L-20-6, ERA-2.73, SO-230, WHIP-1.05, BB-54, H-192, R-78, IP 233.2

Gonzalez GS-32, W/L-21-8, ERA-2.89, SO-207, WHIP-1.13, BB-76, H-149, R-69, IP-199.1

Dickey has better numbers.
