NL CY YOUNG CANDIDATES


Here's a quick look at the top NL CY Young candidates so far this season.


PAUL LECROY, PHI


This man has been straight out dominant so far this season for the Cheese Steaks. Paul LeCroy, the former #1 overall picks a few seasons back, is 10-2 with a 2.63 ERA. He has a career-best 1.06 WHIP this season, and it's looking like he'll be the NL starter in the All-Star game. Well deserved, indeed.

VICENTE TREVINO, STL


The CY YOUNG winner back in S5, he had an off S6. However, he's back in CY form with St. Louis this season. Vicente Trevino is 10-4 with a 2.71 ERA so far, and he doesn't seem to be slowing down one bit.

AL BURNETT, KC


Enter the darkhorse, Mr.Al Burnett. He sports an 8-4 record with a 2.98 ERA for the Kansas City Pine Tar, and he looks to lead the club into the 2nd half of the year in solid shape for a Wild Card berth, if not the Division Title. If KC is to overtake Philly, Burnett must keep his form.
