Hernandez has been a workhorse as well as a Clear ACE for that pitching staff. 112 innings pitched in 16 Starts, 10-2, 3.32 era.

i'd say he's a pretty good candidate for Cy Young at this point.

all good candidates.

just with livan, he is the kind of pitcher that can get overlooked because he doesn't have the massive K's or Miniscule ERA.

he does however, have wins and Innings Pitched.

Dang, how could you turn away willis with an 11-2, 1.92 era? The answer tho is yes, its too early. ;)

read post above, i didn't turn him away. i feel he is a very valid and deserving candidate, but as you said, it's early, so at this point in the season, Livan is definitely a contender. ;)

We'll see if he has his trademark second half slide.

Livan will stay strong. He's always pitched big innings each year. It'll just depend if the Nats keep winning. I've been to 12 games this year and they've won every time :)

i agree, and if he can keep up this momentum i should hope to hear his name uttered when cy young talks circulate. not saying he's a lock though in a tough league, but he deserves the respect and recognition also.
