Next up in the awards ceremonies is the Cy Young award, given to the pitcher seen as best overall in both leagues. I received 14 votes for each league, with the AL race being an AL East dominated award, while the NL featured a tight race between 3 righties
In the American League, LH Cliff Lee[/b] of the Toronto Blue Jays outlasted teammate Clayton Kershaw and division rival C.C. Sabathia of the Baltimore Orioles, with teammates Doug Fister and Josh Johnson of the Tampa Bay Rays and reliever Matt Thornton of the Baltimore Orioles also receiving votes.
The frontman of Toronto's vaunted rotation, Cliff Lee finished 2012 with a 20-9 record (3rd in wins), good for a .690 winning percentage (8th). He got there with a 2.27 ERA (1st), 267 K (2nd), .207 BA (2nd), .244 OBP (1st), .320 SLG (2nd), 8.5 runners/9 (1st), 6 SHO (T-1st), 26 QS (T-1st), 0.765 QS% (T-2nd), 10 CG (2nd), in 278.0 IP (1st).
In the National League, RH Ubaldo Jimenez[/b] of the Milwaukee Brewers held off Josh Tomlin of the San Diego Padres and Scott Baker of the Colorado Rockies, while southpaw Madison Bumgarner of the Cincinnati Reds and rookie Cory Luebke of the Washington Nationals also received strong consideration for the award.
Jimenez went 14-6 for Milwaukee, good for a 0.700 winning percentage (4th), by putting up a 2.57 ERA (T-1st), 206 K (T-4th), .213 BA (2nd), .279 OPB (T-4th), .311 SLG (1st), 9.9 runners per 9 (T-2nd), in 228.0 IP (4th).
