Santana will not win the Cy Young

Dominick DiFucciOct 17, 2008

According to what other people have suggested or reported, Johan Santana will not get the Cy Young.

Here is why:

Johan Santana pitched well down the stretch, but everyone seems to forget there were better pitchers than him. Santana only won 15 games (because the bullpen sucked). Ok, he lead in the ERA category but was not the best overall pitcher in the NL.

Tim Lincecum pitched great down the stretch, won more games than Santana on a bad team. He was 18-6, with 2.62 ERA. He struck out 265 batters!

Brandon Webb was amazing in the first half and led NL Pitchers with 22 wins. He dropped off in the second half which led to the Diamondbacks demise,  but only lost 7 games all year!  His ERA was good at 3.30, but not great like Santana (2.53) and Lincecum (2.62).

Not to mention Sabathia will take some votes away from everyone....Even though he was a late entry.

My prediction is Tim Lincecum, while Webb and Santana will fall short.......
