Josh Beckett       12-5    1  173.2  46  155  2.49  0.98  .203  6.0  Will miss a start after ankle sprain

Justin Masterson   11-9    1  200.1  55  149  3.01  1.23  .253  4.2  Can matching JV's 4 ER in 6 IP be a duel?

Ervin Santana      11-10   4  209.2  60  162  3.18  1.18  .240  3.6  Zero ER against M's, loses anyway.
Dan Haren          14-8    3  208.1  28  169  3.20  1.03  .237  3.7  On the bubble despite yielding the fewest walks

WAR is from baseball-reference.com: baseball-reference.com

I resisted the temptation to add Doug Fister back onto this list, since many of his stats are worthy, but his W-L record leaves him a notch below.

Justin Verlander takes over ERA leadership even though many of his numbers have fallen off slightly, but others have dropped off more -- only Shields, Sabathia, and Felix have seen statistical improvement since last update. Could Verlander be a unanimous Cy Young pick?
