    It's 1.06, second to Young's 1.05. I assume you were being facetious, but the day the Cy Young is decided by WHIP is the day I get laid.

    It's not likely to happen.

    You'd be hitting that "home run" before me, no doubt, my friend.

    But WHIP is a cool stat nonetheless.

    It's nice to know. I like WHIP. It's a great way to show how effective a pitcher is. For pitching, maybe more than hitting, I think the big three stats can pretty much tell you most of what you need to know. Strikeout to walk ratio is great, so is k/9, but no matter how "meaningless" you think wins are as a whole, they're essential for a Cy Young candidate. Strikeouts and ERA, to me, are solid measuring tools.
