I agree with your picks, but don't think Lidge will win it in the NL. hi! even though all this sabermetric stuff is like greek to me, I think your article is well written and well fundamented.

Sure, it's a run-around, and we'll go back and forth, and Sabathia stacked up against the other starters was among the best, but we're not sure if he was the best starter in the NL because he wasn't in the NL for the entirety of the season. But Coley has a point, Sabathia's WPA was <a href="http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=pit&lg=all&qual=y&type=3&season=2008&month=0" rel="nofollow">4.74</a>, a one-hundredth of a point better than Lincecum. Sabathia would've won the thing had he been in the NL all season long (hey, hey may actually win it!), but for the record, his, uhm, record was 17-10. Well, because he didn’t start 30 games.

Sabathia only pitched 130 innings in the NL, and that's not enough. But Lidge only pitched 70 innings. So why is he a candidate? Well, Paul, that’s the point that I was trying to make.

But you need more than 17 starts. That's just not nearly enough. Sabathia was probably the best pitcher in MLB this year. But you need more than 17 starts. That’s just not nearly enough.

He was lights out for the Brewers, with a 1.65 ERA and a 5:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Why not consider CC Sabathia for NL Cy Young?
