Sabathia Beats Out Beckett For Cy Young


The Indians ace received 19 of 28 first-place votes and finished with 119 points in balloting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. Boston's Josh Beckett was second with eight first-place votes and 86 points, while John Lackey of the Los Angeles Angels got the other first-place vote and came in third. Cleveland's Fausto Carmona was fourth. - Boston Globe
Sabathia deserved the Cy Young as he had a better strikeout-walk ratio and a better earned run average than Beckett.
