Aroldis Chapman = NL Cy Young Winner 2012?

Have to admit his numbers so far this year are just unfair.  Just read how dominant he has been against NL teams.

Kimbrel has the same ERA, more saves, and a better WHIP.  K's are the only stats that AC has on him.

Neither will win it though.  Too hard for relief pitchers.  Shoot for top 3.

With no starter pulling away from the pack in the NL, I think Kimbrel and Chapman should be strongly considerated as they could be argued as the 2 best pitchers in the NL this season.  I'm glad Kimbrel is a Brave and hope it remains that way for his entire career as he could break Rivera's saves record and establish him as one of the best closers ever.  I will say that Kimbrel and Chapman will be a pleasure to watch for the next 15 years or so in the NL.

RA Dickey stats is pretty good but he probably won't win since his  team isn't in playoff contention.
