I believe Sabathia from Cleveland will definitely win the Cy Young Award. Beckett's last game towards the Twins was so bad! ( Sorry Beckett but you just put your foot in your mouth for that game.)

Maybe I have too much faith in the BBWAA, though.

Ever since they gave Rafael Palmeiro the Gold Glove that one year, I've been loathe to assume that the folks who vote on these things have a clue what they're doing. I hope I'm wrong.

In the AL I have to go with Beckett he's just having a great season compared to what happened to him last year.

Peavy's got him in wins and ERA, which are the two things the voters concentrate on. Why do you think Webb is going to win it in the NL?
