The A.L. and N.L. Cy Young Award winners will be announced in a few weeks, and the two pitchers featured on this card could receive some votes. Cole Hamels led the team in ERA for the first time since 2008, when he pitched the Phillies to their last World Series Championship. Roy Halladay, who led the team in 2010 and 2011 had an off year and one would hope he's back in the running for the team's ERA title in 2013.
Pitchers qualify for an ERA title by pitching in at least one inning per team game played. Only Hamels and Lee had enough innings to qualify for the title, but here are the top five Phillies starters and relievers for 2012:
Starters - ERA (IP)
1. Cole Hamels - 3.05 (215.1)
2. Cliff Lee - 3.16 (211.0)
3. Kyle Kendrick - 3.90 (159.1)*
4. Roy Halladay - 4.49 (156.1)
5. Joe Blanton - 4.59 (133.1)^
Relievers - ERA (At least 25 IP)
1. Jeremy Horst - 1.15 (31.1)
2. Raul Valdes - 2.17 (29.0)
3. Jonathan Papelbon - 2.44 (70.0)
4. Jake Diekman - 3.95 (27.1)
5. Antonio Bastardo - 4.33 (52.0)
