barry- if melky cabrera can win the batting title, how can medlin not be considered for the cy young?

Melky will win the batting crown because no records have been expunged due to steroid use. Bonds still has 73 home runs in a season, so Melky's average counts.....even if you hate the fact that it does.

As intended this disqualifies cabrera from being eligible for the title though unfortunately it also robs joey votto of the obp title.

howard- did not know that, great to hear! Cabrera wasn't worth a crap when he was with the braves.....also, fat and extremely lazy, hmmmmm...... Wonder if the pills had anything to do with his recent success??

There is a OBP title?

Howard and Kevin. Melky and his agent supposedly petitioned the league and players association for the temporary rule change for this year. They're suspending the rule, only in cases of PED suspension...The rule would still apply to all unsuspended players, although I don't really think it would matter this season.


If he had the qualifying number of AB's he would've still won it though..
