    Surprised Dickey didn’t get any votes…how did Arroyo get a vote over him?!

      Considering Dickey wasn’t even the best pitcher on his own team – Santana was better by most all measures and Pelfrey was comparable (by fWAR at least) – he really didn’t deserve any votes. Arroyo didn’t deserve any votes either.

      Seemed to be a pretty clear deserving top 4 (Halladay, Wainwright, Jimenez, Johnson) and a reasonable argument to be made around the 5th centered on Hudson, Oswalt, Latos and Lincecum. I mean you can’t honestly think Dickey deserves a vote over any of those pitchers, do you…?

        I think I should rephrase and say he deserves over Arroyo.

        and Dickey was the best Mets starter last year. Best WHIP and ERA on the team.

          Santana actually had a slightly better WHIP (1.176 vs. 1.187) and the ERAs were comparable at 2.98 and 2.84. Santana pitched 25 more innings than Dickey and had a BABIP in line with his career norms, unlike Dickey who was seemingly very lucky on batted balls this past season. Santana also struck out significantly more batters.

          It’s no disrespect to Dickey, he had a great and entirely unexpected year, but Santana was simply better. I do agree that Dickey had a better year than Arroyo.

          A knuckleballer should never get cy young in my opinion. Without that pitch they wouldn’t even be in the bigs.

        • MetsEventually

          12 years ago

          Uh…that goes for almost all pitchers then. If Santana didn’t have that change up where would he be? If Chapman didn’t have that fastball where would he be?

    Congratulations to Roy Halladay. As a Yankees fan, I witnessed what an artist he is on the mound everytime he pitched against my team. The people in Philly should enjoy watching him for many years to come.

    Future Hall of Famer – good for Halladay. Let’s hope the BBWAA makes a similarly wise choice and selects Hernandez on Thursday.

    I’m legitimately curious how the writer who put Wainwright 5th can justify that ranking.

    For a while it looked as if he was going to be a runner up again, but his fine ending and ubaldo’s regression sealed the deal.. To me its still so shocking that this is only his 2nd Cy Young. great work thoughAL cy young will probably be more of a heated debate

      Considering Halladay had narrowed his list of teams to which he would agree to a trade to three (by most reports), and that the Chicago White Sox were reportedly not one of them, I’m not sure Kenny Williams can be blamed for not acquiring him.

    I’m surprised he won it unanimously.
    Don’t get me wrong, he deserved it, but he wasn’t so overwhelmingly better then Wainwright as say Pedro in 1999-2000, or Maddux in 1994-1995.
    You would think a St.Louis scribe would have voted for Wainwright.
    Does Wainwright get the two yr. Cy Young?

      That’s actually a good point. I mean, the biggest thing that set them apart was Halladay had 20 more IP and a perfect game. I’m guessing the perfect game might have been the clincher for the voters.

      Best guess is that nobody had an idiotic point to prove this year. Halladay was the far and away favorite and there weren’t really any good reasons NOT to vote for him.

      When you have the numbers Halladay did and a perfect game AND a no hitter in the playoffs (2nd one the history of baseball) you’re going to win unanimously

    all those great Jays on the back-to-back WS winners
    from all-around awesome Alomar to popular guys like Devo to underdog heroes like Pat Borders to the Jesse Barfields that came before them …
    let me tell you this: despite never getting near a playoff Roy Halladay was — and may still be — Canada’s favourite baseball player
    (only exception may be Larry Walker. if had stayed in Montreal or got traded to the Jays that would be the slam dunk)

    I’m a little disappointed in the vote. Not that Halladay won, but rather the vote wasn’t as close as the race truly was. Looking at the stats Halladay only looks like a front runner rather than a clear winner. You’d think at least one person would have favored Wainwright or Jimenez.

    Roy deserved to win without a doubt. Obviously the pitching triple crown is much easier to get than the hitting one, but I don’t understand why Halladay got no attention when he was so close to winning it. ESPN was all over the Pujols Votto and Gonzalez for the Batting triple crown, and they never once mentioned how close Halladay was..
