AL Cy Young Leaders

AL Leader: "Kid Felix" Hernandez #EmeraldCity206Hardball

C'mon a slimmer and trimmer "Kid Felix" boasting a 11-2 W-L (#2 Wins in AL) as well as an 2.12 ERA (1st AL) and 154 Strikeouts (2nd) with hitters swinging .201 avg...Venezuela stand up for your boy "Kid Felix"!

"Mad Max" Scherzer #MotorCityKitties

At a robust 11-3 and the #1 Arm in a talented rotation he assumed the Lead Role of that Staff as Verlander has slid back in the pack. There was a reason why he turned down that Tigers Offer before 2014...he wants and will get more Duffel Bags then Verlander from someone.

Scott Kazmir #SwinginElephants

A rebound year in a big way and even though he has slowed of late at 11-3 with a 2.38 ERA (2nd in AL) and hitters only hitting .206 against him...he is one to watch out the gate in the 2nd half.

Garrett Richards #TeamRallyMonkey

One of the biggest kept-secrets on the Bump in 2014 as he has emerged to the forefront with Jered Weaver the Ace of the Halos. What's impressive is Hitters are swinging just .196 (1st in AL) against him as he sits at 11-2 with a 2.55 ERA (4th in AL). Your squad can't be 20 games over the .500 Mark with just an Ace in Weaver doing all the damage.
