Roy Halladay, Clayton Kershaw Tie For SB Nation's NL Cy Young

by Kyle Lobner on Nov 9, 2011 11:00 AM CST in Milwaukee Brewers News

While we all sit around and wait for the BBWAA to announce their award selections next week, contributors from around the SB Nation network have counted our ballots and are ready to reveal our 2011 awards this week under the following schedule:

Monday: Rookies of the Year (Craig Kimbrel NL, Michael Pineda AL)
Tuesday: AL Cy Young (Justin Verlander)
Wednesday: NL Cy Young
Thursday: AL MVP
Friday: NL MVP

Despite the fact that Clayton Kershaw appeared first on 14 of the league's 28 ballots compared to his 13, Roy Halladay was able to overcome the deficit to tie him for the most prestigious award the SBN baseball sites are handing out today. All 28 votes had Halladay in their top three, while only 27 of 28 did so for Kershaw. Rubie Q and I split the BCB vote:

Voter	1st Place	2nd Place	3rd Place	4th Place	5th Place
Kyle	Roy Halladay	Clayton Kershaw	Cliff Lee	Madison Bumgarner	Matt Cain
Rubie	Clayton Kershaw	Roy Halladay	Cliff Lee	Ian Kennedy	Cole Hamels

You can see the full results after the jump.

The only Brewer represented in the balloting was Zack Greinke, who finished tied for tenth place by receiving one fifth place vote. I'm not allowed to tell you who voted for him, but it wasn't Rubie or I.

Num	Name	1st	2nd	3rd	4th	5th	Total
1	Clayton Kershaw	14	11	2		1	149
1	Roy Halladay	13	13	2			149
3	Cliff Lee		4	21	2		83
4	Ian Kennedy			3	14	6	43
5	Cole Hamels	1			7	8	29

So is SB nation a big enough network for the players to actually hear about this or get some kind of plaque?

Will they hear about it? Maybe.

Receive some kind of plaque? Probably not.

Now that's great tasting chicken!

thus intensifies the SD/LA Rivalry

SD may have had the financial problems first, but the Dodgers upstaged them with the McCourt drama. Here is the result.

This is not what happened. I can’t immagine why he’d vote Kershaw 5th.

"That's not a weird stat. Rickie is a run-scorer," Yost said. "It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter," Yost told reporters. "See, you guys have no concept. He's a run-scorer. So there's nothing weird about it. That's what he does."
