WAR is from baseball-reference.com: baseball-reference.com
Little change-up here … with the AL Cy Young already all but decided, I can take a whack at the much more competitive NL race. I don't see nearly as much of NL pitchers and feel less qualified to comment, but their stats, at least, are readily available. Nice to see Tim Hudson doing well for the Braves (again!) this year … he kind of disappeared from my radar since leaving the A's.

Seven flippin' years ago. Oy.

Johnny Cueto, Ryan Vogelsong, and Jair Jurrjens would also be in the mix if they'd pitched more innings.
