Is Cliff Lee in the Cy Young race now?
Cliff Lee pitched 8 shutout innings tonight and got the win improving his record to 15 wins and 4 losses. Four years ago he was a small piece of the Bartolo Colon for Brandon Phillips trade. Now he is chasing Colon for Cy Young contention. I'm honest enough to admit that Lee is not the best pitcher in the American League this year but it is good to see that he is getting into the conversation. Lee should get 4 or 5 more starts so it could get real interesting if he keeps winning.
PS: Half game out of the Wild Card lead after the Yankees lose to Tampa Bay.

Bill, Even with five more wins and twenty total his ERA will keep Lee from winning. It is nice not to see him build on last year though.
