NL Cy Young

[TheKilo]

Who is your NL Cy Young winner, and why?

[BSN07]

Linceum, he's absolutly filthy. . Linecum has got 60K's on the 2nd place guy.....Webb has alot of wins, so that could help him.

[redsoxrules]

Santana Should win it but his lack of wins will kill his chance. he has the best ERA and the most IP

 

Lincecum is my pick as he has the 2nd best ERA ,227 IP,265K and holding opponants to a 221 BA

[Cocos Disciples]

Going with Lincecum too. 2.62 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, 10.51 K/9. My 2nd place is Johan Santana but Lincecum has the K's on him, H/9, HR/9 too. And Lincecum did it with a .312 BABIP.

[msubulldogs21]

Lincecum. You also have to take into account him playing on a team with a terrible offense and he still managed to get 18 wins.

[BoSox21]

Lincecum. Absolutely ridiculous numbers topped by an outstanding W-L record despite being on a putrid team

[26 to 6]

I picked C.C. Even though he didn't play the whole season in the NL, the job he did in Milwaukee propelled the Brewers to contender status. He had a great season. As did Lincecum, and Lidge, and Webb, and Santana. I have to give my vote to Sabathia though.

[Cocos Disciples]

Are voters supposed to count Sabathia's season with Cleveland when voting for NL Cy?

[26 to 6]

No

[Cocos Disciples]

Then I find it hard to make a case for a guy who pitched a half a season.

[TheKilo]

This, along with the AL MVP, is the award I think you can have the most discussion with.

 

The sad thing is if Lincecum doesn't get it (he should), it won't go to the next best deserving candidate, it will go to Brandon Webb (instead of Johan).

[redsoxrules]

Brandon webb? Johan had a better season

[Jasonbay44]

Lincecum, nasty, he could of had more wins if he wasn't on horrible offensive team.

[rician blast]

Lincecum, best overall statline, IMO.

[TheKilo]

Brandon webb? Johan had a better season

 

Read what I said.

 

It'll be unfortunate that it won't go to the next best deserving candidate, it will go to Brandon Webb (instead of Johan).

My bad.. I was in a rush when I posted that

[TheKilo]

All good homes

[Cocos Disciples]

Yeah, voters look at win total wayyyyy too much.

[TheKilo]

Yeah' date=' voters look at win total wayyyyy too much.[/quote']

Does that make Webb the front runner?

 

Neither the DBacks nor the Giants made the playoffs...

[Cocos Disciples]

I mean win total for the individual pitcher not their team.

I understand...Webb finished with 22 wins this season to Lincecum's 18

[YanksHater213]

I'm taking Sabathia.

 

People can talk all day about how he didn't pitch a full season in the NL and blah blah blah, but IMO he was so dominant that he should deserve it.

 

Do I think he'll win? Nope. But he's who I'd vote for.

I firmly disbelieve anyone who didn't pitch an entire season in one league should be eligable for Cy Young. That or if they only pitched a few games before a trade they could be eligable.

 

But in Sabathia's case, despite his very dominant pitching to save the Brewers' season, I don't think he should get it. I'm going for Lincecum.

[Cocos Disciples]

Yep. And Webb will probably get it.

This isn't even really somethign that's arguable... it just depends on what your opinion is of a "cy young pitcher"... I felt like Sabathia pitched so dominantly for a sustained enough period of time to warrant the award.

 

If Sabathia doesn't win it, it should absolutely be Lincecum second... if he doesn't win it this year, he's got one to come soon.

[msubulldogs21]

Lincecum wins. What a season he had.

[BoSox21]

nice, voters got it right

[Cocos Disciples]

Good for him, he deserves it. He's going to have a hell of a career.

[BoSox21]

I love how someone voted for Lincecum in the poll at the top of the page AFTER the news came out that he won
