Justin Verlander "The Best Pitcher in Baseball this year"?

Right now, YES he is the best. obviously there are some other great pitchers out there, especially this year. Last i heard the cumulative batting average in the league is even lower then last year. Shields, Weaver, Halladay, Hamels, and Beckett are all top performers but JV has turned it on an extra step this year. Hopefully he keeps it up, watching him pitch, you don't ask if he will throw another no-no, you ask when he will.
