Um... Adam Loewen is on the 60 Day DL.  I like his chances.

I think this is a trick question.

It isn't really fair to have Loewen's name on this ballot.

I had forgotten about Loewen's status.
If you are either of the two people who voted for him -- maybe it was you two in comments? -- and the site does not let you vote again now that I removed him and the two votes, just send me your choice via e-mail and I will register it manually.

If I was going to ask a trick question, y'all would be tricked. This was not such an instance!

I think Boston's pen is going much better than Detroit's right now.  So I have to give Beckett the nod.

As long as Saunders keep getting sent down to the minors, I like his chances

Beckett is awesome, but the Bosox pen is getting ugly: Sunday"s Okajima BS and Papilbon Loss, then last night Pineiro was wild and Snyder lost it in extras. They are not immune to a losing streak; last year Jeter dinged Papilbon to get one started in a memorable Fenway Classic, maybe this year ARod has done it again.

The enemy of your enemy is your friend?

I'm thinking Beckett.  I know Detroit's offense is outperforming Boston's right now, but I like Boston's offensive talent more and figure that a big offense can help you avoid the loss in that odd stinker.
