Who Should Win The NL Cy Young Award?
I think the answer to this question is quite obvious, actually.
Since arriving in 
Milwaukee, CC Sabathia leads the National League in starts, wins, complete games and winning percentage. He also ranks second in strikeouts and third in ERA. Oh, and I should probably mention that he’s been instrumental in catapulting the Brewers into post-league play.
If Sabathia were to win the Cy Young, that would make him the first pitcher to win the the coveted award in back-to-back leagues in consecutive seasons.
The fact that he switched leagues and still continues to dominate should be considered a positive not a negative. It’s harder to dominate against players you haven’t had the pleasure of “getting to know” throughout the season.
I’m all for Sabathia. And I know the rest of his teammates and the fans in Milwaukee are, too. After all, the Brewers haven’t been to a post season since 1982.

Hello.
If Sabathia wins the Cy Young award then Manny Ramirez has to win th MVP in the National League.
I don’t think this is gonna happen.
The winner of the Cy young is Brandon Webb or Tim Lincecum.
Is hard for me to say this because,im a DODGER fan.
If Sabathia wins the award,this awards is a joke.
Thank you.
