    Does health count? I assume yes.

    Gallardo-Wolf aren't listed? Your anti-Milwaukee bias shines through yet again

    I chose Lincecum and Cain.

    My personal favorite was Maddux and Glavine.

    I chose Beckett-Lester. I think Lester is poised for a Cy Young year though.

    voted lincecum/cain.

    webb/haren would be up there if not for webbs injury last year assuming he stayed consistent.

    need another year similar to lasts from King Felix before I could vote for him in this.

    Beckett has not been good enough to merit a vote. I love Lester but he has to be in Lincecum territory to carry Beckett in this poll...and even that may not be enough.

    The second in New York is probably Vasquez (at least according to Chone projections), and they are very close. Too close to call among the top 5 (Giants, Phillies, Cardinals, Yankees and Red Sox) - but I'll say Giants as well.

    I went with the Mariners - king felix, and Cliff Lee in his walk year? That should be impressive.

    Beckett could be great, but has been spotty over the years. Lackey/Lester I think will pull off a true 1-2 this year.

    CC or Burnett will crash and burn. Not sure about Cain enough to vote for him. And Hamels didn't impress last year...Mariners seem like the best shot.

    hard to argue your selection. I think Lee is likely the best or most consistent #2 of the group (I make Haren the #1 in AZ due to Webbs missed season last year). There is no doubt Felix is the real deal. Jeffy asked to conbine the last few years in the decision making, which is why I went Linc/Cain...but Felix/Lee is just as good.

    Lee and Hernandez are both #1's...

    When Beddard gets healthy and is able to pitch on a regular basis and pitch effectively in June/July, that would be a nasty 1, 2 & 3

    Voted Lee-Hernandez.

    As 200tang just said to me on AIM, though, the difference between the top 4 or 5 pairs is barely anything.

    Lincecum-Cain. Youth and awesomeness is on their side. Interesting tidbit for the non-Giants fans ('cause Giants fans/more knowledgeable baseball fans will know): Matt Cain is younger than Lincecum. Whoa! These are two definite Cy Young candidates heading into the season.
