A quick Tweet from respected baseball writer Joe Sheehan perfectly summed the initial response to Thursday's announcement that Felix Hernandez(notes) had won his first AL Cy Young award:

Pitcher wins are dead. Long live pitcher wins.

Sheehan meant that in a triumphant way, and for good reason. Despite sporting a regular-looking 13-12 record, Hernandez was rewarded for posting unreal numbers, even while being backed by a historically bad M's lineup. King Felix took 21 of 28 first-place votes for his league-leading 2.24 ERA and 249 2/3 IP and second-highest strikeout total (232). He was trailed in the voting by David Price(notes) and CC Sabathia(notes) — each of which had more wins — but it wasn't even close. (Well, it may have been close for New York Post homer George King, who voted for Sabathia, but everyone's entitled to their own opinion, I guess.)
