You're absolutely right that there are a bunch of guys that won the award as a one-season-wonder, primarily on the strength of their only 20+ win efforts (I'm looking at you, LaMarr Hoyt). <br /><br />I do think it's unrealistic for some to expect results like Felix got this year to be up to the standard of Steve Carlton '72 (27-10, a ridiculous WAR of over 12), or even that of Cliff Lee (22-3 for a 3rd place .500 Cleveland club in '08).<br /><br />Lincecum set the standard last year for how win/loss is no longer an easy #1 determining factor for the award. In today's era of five-man-rotations, tight pitch counts, and full middle relief bullpens, a win for a starter has become a much more elusive achievement.<br /><br />Now if only Gold Glove awards would similarly step out of the cave and see the light of rationality, they might actually go to great fielders more frequently.Todd Uncommonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01437373592094383737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629281127274459200.post-24561046374972265672010-11-18T20:18:29.587-05:002010-11-18T20:18:29.587-05:00Both players had amazing seasons... but I'd be...Both players had amazing seasons... but I'd be lying if I said that I was mad that Felix won. The Yankees have the most WS pennants... they don't need another award (in my opinion)... Congratulations goes out to all Mariners fans out there... it's your turn to celebrate.<br /><br />I look forward to checking out the Felix custom.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.com
