I don't want to count my chickens or anything, but it's time to put Bedard's name in the AL CY Young hunt. If he keeps pitching the way he is, his name will definitely be in there:
Haren - 23 GS, 155.0 IP, 13-3, 2.44 ERA, 121 Ks, 40 BBs
Santana - 22 GS, 148.0 IP, 11-8, 2.92 ERA, 156 Ks, 35 BBs
Bedard - 23 GS, 147.2 IP, 11-4, 3.05 ERA, 181 Ks, 48 BBs
Beckett - 20 GS, 132.0 IP, 13-5, 3.41 ERA, 123 Ks, 27 BBs
Buerhle - 21 GS, 144.1 IP, 8-6, 3.06 ERA, 85 Ks, 27 BBs
Lackey - 22 GS, 146.2 IP, 13-6, 3.07 ERA, 118 Ks, 41 BBs
As you can see, he's definitely in the thick of it. He's been blowing guys away all year, leading the AL in Ks by far. Haren and Santana are beating him in ERA right now, but I think Haren will eventually fall off; his BABIP has to even out eventually. Plus Haren gets to throw half his games in Oakland. Santana is the biggest threat IMO.
