I went with Lopez on this one, for the simple reason that it's nearly impossible to lead the league in losses two straight years -- unless you're a Phil Niekro or Wilbur Wood type going 24-20 for a mediocre club, you just won't stay in the rotation if you get up around 15+ losses again.
It might also help that he's in the NL now, Mick. I went with Liriano before I even saw the Lopez option, for obvious reasons.
Damn, I thought I had checked everyone on the list. My bad. I have removed Lopez as an option. Those of us who voted for him should be able to vote again, but if not, just shoot me an e-mail and let me know and I will manually register your re-vote, whatever it may be.
Vote Liriano obviously due to injury...didn't think it would be so lopsided though
Liriano is the best choice of course, but I chose Santana - Innings because I think Roy is gonna go 36 starts this year, and if he does he'll easily lead the league in innings.
