Sale not even the best pitcher in his own division tbh. 
 
Although I'm not gonna act like it's a dramatic difference between him and Kluber. I see the argument either way. 
 
and I voted Jose Fernandez anyway

The best pitcher right now is Q.  When I expand that out to the start of last season, I think it's clearly Sale.  Back another year and a case is made for Kluber.  back another and it's tight.  Back another and it's Sale.  So for me Sale has been dominant longer, but it's very close.  With the year Price has had in 2016, for me he's a step behind K, Q, Bum, and Sale
 
Fernandez would be running away with this but he's been hurt and yet to throw a 200 IP season.  (Not thinking he makes it this year either)

isn't this supposed to be based on THIS year? Not sure how you can pick Fernandez here

Wait, if it's strictly this year folks have a major hard time reading a stat like WAR.  It also makes this whole vote dumb

it's not based just on this year. that's been mentioned multiple times. Yeah this year will have a large weight to it, but you gotta look at past results too. 
 
i.e. mccutchen taking second for CF.
