It should have been Santana or Buerhle and both are far greater choices then Rivera, or Colon.

Puzzling choice really but not all that surprising since the voters love wins.

Santana's stats >>> Colon's.

[Huskiez]

I made a post about Santana's superior stats a month ago, and will repeat some of it here.

Let's compare Santana and Colon:

Wins: Santana 16, Colon 21
Losses: Santana 7, Colon 8
CG: Santana 3, Colon 2
Shutouts: Santana 2, Colon 0
IP: Santana 231.2, Colon 222.2
ERA: Santana 2.97, Colon 3.48
WHIP: Santana 0.97, Colon 1.16
BAA: Santana .210, Colon .254
K: Santana 238, Colon 157
BB: Santana 45, Colon 43
K/BB: Santana 5.29, Colon 3.65
H: Santana 180, Colon 215
HR: Santana 22, Colon 26
QS: Santana 24, Colon 21

The only significant category Colon beats Santana in is wins (and walks). How can you justify giving Cy Young to a pitcher who is clearly outmatched? Because he won 5 more games? Six times this year, Santana went at least 7 innings and gave up 2 runs or fewer, and received a ND or L. Blame his terrible team for lack of run support. Santana's run support was 4.70, Colon's 6.02. Don't fault the pitcher for putting his team in a much better position to get wins.

It baffles me how baseball writers know SO LITTLE about the sport they cover!

I get mad every time I think about baseball.
