August/September 2016 Pitcher of the Month

Please vote above for the player you felt had the best month, and discuss your selection below in the thread!

You may use almost any criteria you wish in judging each player's month. The one exception is that we ask that voters ignore a player's prospect status - in other words, please don't vote for a player based on the fact that you think he will be a better major league player down the road. However, to be clear, you may use other criteria in judging the candidates relative to one another that go beyond stats, such as age relative to level and the like. Just don't pick, say, a top 10 prospect over an org guy based solely on that.

Voting for this poll will close Monday at 3:00 pm.
