Eh, those Tampa writers put him 4th or 5th, which, considering they left him off completely, is more reasonable than them putting him 3rd, he still loses. I think him getting only two 2nd place votes is more interesting than him being left off 2 ballots. Porcello winning is definitely a joke. The only reason he won is because of how good Boston's offense was. Dude got nearly 8 runs of support in his starts. That's insane.

Rick Porcello does not deserve the Cy Young.

In fact, Porcello shouldn't have even gotten a single 1st place vote.
He wasn't close to the best pitcher in the American League last season.

What did Kershaw and Britton get robbed of? :patrice:

Syndergaad and Kershaw were tied for WAR in all of pitching for WAR. Britton was unbelievably dominant in an AL race that didn't have a clear cut superstar ace starter.
