Acolytes, I've been doing some thinking lately, and it's about something I've been reading in the news. You've probably been reading about it, too. Now I'm not one to get get involved in politics, but in this particular case I cannot keep silent. I'm of course talking about the heated debate among Cy Young voters regarding the candidacy of relievers.
Starters have been, and always will be, the preferred choices among Cy Young voters. Once in a while, though, a reliever is so utterly dominant that he demands attention for the most coveted pitching award in the game. This is one of those times.

Koji Uehara, originally tabbed as the setup guy to
Joel Hanrahan and
Andrew Bailey, stepped in to the closer's role with the Red Sox and put together one of the best seasons by a reliever in MLB history. Unfortunately, preference for starters and the ever so sexy/meaningless save stat may doom his chances.
Fear not! TDZ is here to make an ironclad case for why Koji must be the 2013 AL Cy Young winner.
