[...] Beckett? C.C. Sabathia? You liked Beckett (60%) over Sabathia (27%) in our poll. The voters have spoken in favor of the large left-hander representing Cleveland. This surprises me [...]

Sabathia has more strikeouts 209 to 194, more CG’s 4 to 1, a lower ERA 3.21 to 3.27, more innings pitched 241 to 200, and less run support than Beckett. Based on the fact that this is a regular season award, I think Sabathia wins it hands down.

Good call, Terry. The extra 40 innings should be enough for Sabathia, but with the voters, you never know.

Ryguy: I’m sure you know this, but voting takes place before the playoffs start, so none of Beckett’s postseason work — fine though it may have been — will be considered.

Sabathia pitched 40 more innings with basically the same stats as Beckett, except CC had a sick K/BB ratio. ERA and WHIP are about the same. CC should win easily.

Sabathia over Beckett in a landslide? Are you kidding me???

In fact, I’d say that Josh Beckett was the better pitcher this season, although I’ll admit it’s a close gap between them.

I mean, did you watch either of their head-to-head games in the ALCS–or any of Beckett’s starts in the 2007 Playoffs, for that matter?

Other than the fact that Josh Beckett has one more win than CC How can anyone build a legit case that Beckett deserves the CY.. CC should win in a landslide..
