Early Season CY Young Candidates - NL

There were probably 10+ guys that could be listed here, but this is what I considered the best of the best.

Yamil Pulido - Go ahead and start engraving his name on the plaque because this contest is just about over. The only thing that will keep him from winning is an injury or late season melt down. This two time winner is on course to having one of, if not the greatest season in the history of the league.

WHIP: 1.15
Starts: 14
