While there is a terrific NL Cy Young race going on I think everyone is overlooking the great RoY battle that is happening too.

Who do you guys have winning it?

I'd love to see Gaby Sanchez win it to be the 3rd Marlin in the last 5 years to take it down but Heyward is gonna be some serious competition, not to mention Jaime Garcia among others.

Heyward will win it easily because he's been solid hitting the middle of the order for a first place team....and the media crowned him before the season started.

Buster Posey's been good and Castro (.316 ave) from the Cubs is being overlooked but should get a few votes.

Not to be a dick, but we really don't need threads about this for every race. People read the MLB Season thread all the time and I let the Cy Young race thread stay open because this is really the first year of the "Return of the Pitcher" while there is really nothing extraordinary about the NL rookies this year.

I'm going to lock this and post the OP's in the MLB Season thread and just link there from here.
