Hey, if the Ben Sheets for Cy Young Bandwagon has already embarked on its journey, then the Jake Peavy for Cy Young Bandwagon got its start a day later. By the end of San Diego's 7-0 win over San Francisco, and first Opening Day shutout of franchise history, none of the talk was about Barry Bonds nor Bruce Bochy managing against his former team; it was all about Jake Peavy. The young right hander went six scoreless innings, allowing just five base runners while striking out six, getting his first win of the season (see Ducksnorts for an excellent in-depth breakdown of Peavy's outing)."That's the way you draw it up," Peavy said. "Put some zeros on the board and make it hold up. That's a good day. I feel healthy. That's the biggest thing for me."The health certainly is the key to Peavy's success. Last year he had shoulder issues on Opening Day and throughout the year, which can most likely be traced to his participation in the World Baseball Classic. In the 2005 playoffs, he pitched against the Cardinals with a cracked rib.
Seems to me that only injuries, high pitch counts, and a lack of run support can keep the 2004 NL ERA Champion and 2005 NL Strikeout Champion from garnering Cy Young attention in 2007, especially now that he's getting advice from Hall of Famer to be, Greg Maddux.
