Cubs could end up with the NL MVP and Cy Young winner

[obxyankeefan]

What about Kershaw and Kershaw?

pitcher and offensive player

 

[StanMarsh51]

How many times in the NL?

14x by my count, including two in the past 12 years (Cards, Dodgers).

It's a lot more common than you think considering that the Cy's only been around for 60 years.

 

[molsaniceman]

They can be fun though.

How could thinking Hendrix might win tCYA not be fun?

Hendrix is a great choice

I believe some of those winners were just Cy young winners also winning the MVP award as well.

Depending on how the season finishes off there is a legit chance they could have the top 2 in both categories imo. If Arrieta and Hendricks pitch well the rest of the year and Rizzo and Bryant keep raking they could easily make a case. Probably would not happen as they'd invariably split votes but you could argue for it

Bill James' and Rob Neyers' Cy Young predictor doesn't have Hendricks in the top 10. Lester is though, at #9.

It's got a really tight race for the top spot between Cueto, Arrieta and Bumgarner, currently in that order.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

The Dodgers WITH Kershaw aren't even a contender. It's between the Cubs, Giants, and Nationals this year.

I can't tell if you're trolling or were just drunk on a Saturday night posting dumb shit.

I'm going with trolling. Am I right?

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Its all good to me........but won`t mean anything if my team can`t get it done this season.
And I`m losiing confidence fast.
They are just looking average vs the playoff teams.They need to put fear into their opponents eyes rather than hope.
And the Cardinals have a little revenge on their minds after last years p.o. series vs the Cubs..............But there is a month n a half to go.

Anything can happen.

I, for one, would like to see Cubs fans' misery continue at the hands of the Fighting Braves of The Cuyahoga.

Don't tell @NEhomer that.

Yeah the more I look at it I can't see Hendricks getting much love. Not enough innings really. He'd have to have a great last 8 starts. That order is probably right right now imo. Crazy we had 3 such great years last year and nothing real special this year

That Cy Predictor goes back 14 seasons and has correctly predicted 20 of the last 28 winners.

Keep in mind, it's not predicting future performance, so the predicted winner can and will change as these guys add to their numbers.

Hendrix might have been boring but he was a fucking one man circus compared....to.....yaaaawn....baseball.

 

[broncosmitty]

Do you have him in MBBRL?

I'm an innings guy above all else. If a guy isn't top tier, I have a tough time considering him among the best.

I was only talking about the NL.

 

[soxfan1468927]

What about Kershaw and Kershaw?

He specifically asked about MVPs who weren't pitchers.

If you include pitchers there are 14 with Kershaw in 2014, Gibson in 1968, Koufax in 1963, and Newcombe in 1956
