alot of words to say arrieta is pipped by either kershaw or greinke in whatever pitching metric you measure these guys by, and fip/xfip unfairly penalizes greinke who's become more of a pitching wizard through his craft and artistry. he's consciously pitching toward hard contact this year as he (correctly) deduces those turn into more outs than pitching to soft contact and having dunkers and bloopers fall in for hits.

as jonah keri points out even if you dig deeper kershaw still delivered the most raw value as a pitcher, followed by greinke and arrieta. all the numbers are still ridiculously close this year, and at this point it really doesn't matter who the cy young is, it's gonna come down to subjectivity and biases...and although i'm a dodgers fan i think arrieta will come out ahead for the reasons i listed in my previous post. and greinke won't care, he'll still opt out and get a huge 25-30mil deal for 6-7 years.
