Greinke Wins Cy Young Award

It was just announced that Zack Greinke is this year's American League Cy Young award winner. After the year he had this was almost a no-brainer. In 33 games this year for the Royals, Greinke went 16-8 with a ridiculous 2.16 ERA and 1.07 WHIP. In 229.1 innings pitches he allowed just 55 earned runs on 195 hits, walked 51 and struck out 242. He also held opposing batters to a .230 batting average.

Here's how the voting went down:

I'm sure CC will be fine with his World Series ring and ALCS MVP.
