Exclamation Top AL Pitcher

I was reading in the Sports News and there was something about Jon Garland, and about if thing ended right now he would be the All Star game Starter and AL Cy Young winner. I kind of disagree with that, there are four AL pitchers right now pitching real well.

*Stats from tonight are not added in, he gave up 2 ER's in 8 innings, striking out 4 while picking up the win

My rankings: Johan, Garland, Halladay, Bonderman. Really it just comes down to Johan and Garland, and you can make a legit case for each one. Garland has the edge in wins and ERA, but I think Johans strikeouts and innings pitched tell a lot. In his only loss, Johan pitched 8 innings giving up solo home runs, but the Twins didn't score any. Real shitty loss if you ask me. Garlands ERA is a lot lower then I thought before making this thread, but I still think that Santana has the edge just because he dominates the plate so much more.

Cy Young is still ages away, but the All Star game isn't too far off, so thats what I made the poll for. I realise that its early and whatnot, but at least I am still skeptical about the upstart White Sox and confused over Garlands new found composure, so we can discuss it here.
