SB Nation Awards: 2009 American League Cy Young Award

So far Mike Scioscia has picked up AL Manager of the Year, and Elvis Andrus took home AL Rookie of the Year.

Rk Player Team 1st 2nd 3rd Pts
1 Zack Greinke Kansas City Royals 28 1 - 143
2 Felix Hernandez Seattle Mariners - 17 6 57
3 Justin Verlander Detroit Tigers - 8 9 33
4 Roy Halladay Toronto Blue Jays 1 2 11 22
5 C.C. Sabathia New York Yankees - 1 2 5
6 Jon Lester Boston Red Sox - - 1 1


Any surprises here?  I know I went Greinke-Hernandez one-two, but I can't recall if I voted Verlander or Halladay for the bronze medal.

Poll
Of the top three vote getters, who gets your AL Cy Young nod?

If Greinke doesn't take home the real Cy...

I am sad that there are no votes for a certain 20-year-old

Rick Porcello should have won because he is only 20

He could have a great slogan too: Rick Porcello – putting the “young” in the Cy Young award

Yeah...

it seems there are a lot of SBNation bloggers that are unaware of the talent this rookie phenom has. What a shame.

One big surprise

It wasn’t unanimous. Really, Guy Who Voted For Halladay? Really? You’re basing your Cy Young vote entirely on innings pitched and walk rate (basically the only statistical categories in which Halladay was better than Greinke)? I am disappointed that you weren’t doing this in 2005, to give Carlos Silva a Cy Young vote.

Grenke

This is an open and shut case. Should be unanimous.

Agree.

But apparently a few people (10, thus far) do not think that’s the case. :\

11 now

Up to 8 votes for F-Her (love that nickname)

Haha

Never heard that one before, but yeah, definitely a good one. Also, 21 now. Boo.

I like F-Rod too

For some reason, that one never stuck

1. Greinke, 2. Verlander, 3. Halladay

I wanted to put Felix ahead of Verlander (jerk), but there was a pretty good sized gap…

Greinke’s a no brainer. Perhaps the only more cut and dry choice is AL MVP…
