First off, yes, if the vote was today, I would pick Livan Hernandez for CY Young. Would you rather have 5 Livan Hernandez's, throwing 250 innings and winning 20 games a year, or 5 other guys with great ERA's who just can't win? I think it's pretty obvious. And yes, in my chat I did pick Albert Pujols for the first half NL MVP, the Cardinals have the most wins in the Major Leagues because of him. Actually, I picked Albert Pujols number one, Jim Edmonds number two (because of his defense as much as because of his offense) and Derrek Lee number three. I said it before and I'll say it again, put Pujols on the Cubs, and they have 55 wins, put Lee on the Cardinals and they're a .500 team.
