ILMOU Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Has him at 12/1, sounds reasonable. http://www.csnchicago.com/white-sox/oddsma...young-candidate But Buccholz at 10/1 is patently ridiculous - those are the odds that he'll make 20 starts in any season for the rest of his career.

It sort of makes sense if you think that the record of the team significantly affects the voting. If so, Buccholz would get a ton of bonus points simply by being the best pitcher on the reigning champs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
