Default Bartolo Colon Wins AL Cy Young

He didn't have all that impressive of a season... but he won 20 games, that's good enough for me!

He got 17 firsts and 11 seconds. Rivera got 8 firsts. I'm going to refrain from saying who I think should have won (you get one guess) but this voting is just miles off what it should be.

Santana or Rivera should have won. And it's not close.

it's not that bad. every AL pitcher pretty much sucked it up sometime during the season, and too many writers don't like voting for a reliever/closer when it's really that close. santana snub is a bit disappointing, as he had 3 CG and 2 shutouts.

of course, personally, i'd rather see rivera win it rather than colon, and arguably, had he not blown those two on opening weekend, he'd probably have it. (another reason to hate the redsox).

You do realize that Rodriguez had more saves than Rivera right?

No one had a dominating year in the American League when it comes to pitching last year. Colon got 20 wins good enough.

Also you didnt give a reason why Rivera should win? He didnt have the most saves? Because he is a Yankee is not a reason.

Just for what he did for his team. The bullpen was so weak, and the starting pitching was unreliable for the first 1/2+, and when he came in, you knew he was going to get the job done.
