Help me out: Awards Voting, Week 2

Ok, so this week it's time to vote for NL Awards. As you may know, BCB is one of the voters in BaseballHappenings.com's weekly blogpoll for MVP, Cy Young and Rookie of the Year.

Just like last week, I've got 5 nominees (alphabetically) for each award. You're welcome to go off the board if you want, my nominees are merely a suggestion and a starting point. Please rank your choices 1-3 for each award. Your votes will be combined to form the final BCB ballot. I'll post the voting results and the BCB ballot in Tuesday's Mug.

NL Cy Young:
Cole Hamels, Philadelphia: 2-1, 0.82 ERA, 22 IP, 7 BB, 15 K, 0.82 WHIP

Is there an official cutoff date?

Because people are voting Cueto as if he has only had two starts, but he was not nearly as good in his third. Not to say he can't be #1, but it does add some ambiguity.

Also, cheese.

He was still good

2 Hits, 6 K, 1BB, 2ER through 5 is pretty solid, Dusty Baker just left him in too long into the sixth when he started to struggle a little.

Sheets has better numbers over three, but Cueto was dominant enough in his first start (33% of the season) that I personally think he has the edge, assuming the season ended today.

And good call on the stats for Cueto...I didn't realize I forgot to include yesterday's start.
