Rookie of the year last year.  Gold glove and silver slugger this year.  My boy Longo is a stud!

Greinke wins the AL Cy Young. Shockingly, they picked the right guy for the award. Zack just destroyed everyone in sight. Felix was a great pitcher this season, but he has bad luck to have his best season be in 2009 with Greinke.

Yes, even though his team sucks, he had a great year and totally deserved it.

Cy Young = right call.  Although Zach got hit late this season a couple times.  With King Felix down his neck I wouldn't have been surprised had it gone the other way.

Thanks, Linda Cohn, for that great commercial moment...

Thanks for noticing. 

Were these two even paying attention?  WTF???

Two voters, Will Carroll of Baseball Prospectus and Keith Law of ESPN.com, did not include Carpenter on their ballots. Carroll had Wainwright in the top spot, Lincecum second and Arizona's Dan Haren third. Law voted for Lincecum, Atlanta's Javier Vazquez and Wainwright in third. Those were the only votes in any position for Haren and Vazquez.

As a very big fan of all things Baseball Prospectus, I'd say that if Carroll voted for Wainright, he had pretty good statistical reason. He's not a mainstream pundit who tries to give the expected response though, no doubt about it.

I can't understand them leaving Carp off the ballot.  We were assuming (wrongly) that one of our guys would win it.  Sad

Next year's NL Cy Young winner... The Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw.

You heard it here first. Wink

I think Vasquez and Webb were 2-3 in some sabermetric stat like FiP or VORP. So, that explains that.

Keith Law was trained in scouting and is very intelligent, so I won't bash his ballot. I would rather bash the ballots of the guy who voted Wainwright first based on his W-L record and rather than more important stats like ERA and WHIP.
