Re: 2012 MLB Mid season award winners
Dickey - Record: 20-6 ERA: 2.73 SO: 230 WHIP: 1.05 Complete Games: 5 Shutouts: 3 Innings Pitched: 233.2
Kershaw - Record: 14-9 ERA: 2.53 SO: 229 WHIP: 1.02 Complete Games: 2 Shutouts: 2 Innings Pitched: 227.2
Major difference is that the Dodgers actually had an offense to support Kershaw (we all know the Mets offense was lethargic at best). Dickey won 27% of the Mets games this year...and that doesn't even count the games the bullpen blew for him. Kershaw won 16% of Dodgers games this year. Granted Kershaw was hurt for a month, but Dickey was dominant all year. IMHO Kershaw shouldn't even be included in the top three.
