While the stats show the ALCY should be close, I think JV wins in a runaway with at least 75% of the 1st place votes. Voters need to reward Verlander after two 2nd place and a 5th place finish in the previous 3 years. They’ll figure Cole will have more future opportunities than Justin.

Whoever wins is deserving

JV has the no-hitter kicker as well.  It’s his.  But It’s no shock to see it go either way.

The weighted voting process makes the possibility so minute as to not even be considered.  

Sure, in years where there are more than 2 guys that you could argue should be 1st or 2nd

This year there are two guys that are 1 and 1a.... and then a huge gap before #3.
Agreed it’ll be extremely unlikely but it’ll be a joke if anyone other than JV and Cole are 1 or 2 on any of the ballots. And then you just need 15 guys to put JV 1 and 15 to put Cole at 1

Again, sure it’ll be difficult for it to hit like that but if it’s ever going to happen, this is the year.

Someone will submit a joke of a ballot with Minor in second place.  200 Ks! Sabermetrics!
