CY Award does not make sense
CY Award does not make sense
I know I've whined about this before, but ABE's choice for 1975 makes no sense. Yes, I know a favorable nod goes to winning teams, but CY is an award based on individual performance, and Pregenzer mopped the floor with Wihtol in that respect. Also, you may find it curious that Wihtol's 3.57 ERA does not show up on the list of League Leaders. I have no problem with RP's getting the award, but was was 3rd in SV's. Not even the league leader in that category. Maybe the code has some issues that need tweaking.

Dude I agree that's out of control wrong.
Re: CY Award does not make sense
I agree, Prezenger should have won it. Whitol had more than a handful of vulture wins from his 12 blown saves. The sim (as do most people) way overvalue saves!
Regardless of ERA, anytime a reliever gets double digit wins and 40+ saves, they are going to get into the CYA race.

Re: CY Award does not make sense
Thanks Willy. I hold you in high esteem as someone who understands the dynamics here better than most. I think the blaring factor here IS that Wihtol did have wins resultant of the 12 blown, but that his saves weren't even close to league leading. It's almost as if ABE held a lottery.
So now that we all agree, please make your trade offers reflect his CY award status!!
Oh well, onward.

Re: CY Award does not make sense
You need to understand, the cy young is about counting stats, especially when the other possible candidates carry rate that is not really impressive (prezinger). So 40 saves and 13 wins (whatever it was) adds up to more cy young points. But truly. The only stat that is worse for evaluating a pitcher than wins? Is saves. They are both just grotesquely bad.
