Tampa Bay Rays ace David Price won the American League Cy Young Award on Wednesday, barely edging 2011 winner Justin Verlander.

Next time don't choke in the World Series Verlander
Not sure how this is relevant since the voting is done before the playoffs start.

Tight race.
Price received 14 first-place votes for 153 points in balloting by the Baseball Writers Association of America, just four points ahead of Verlander's 13 first-place votes and 149 points. Weaver finished third with 70 points.

Honestly, I think Verlander's All-Star shellacking may have played a small role in the voting.

They gave it to the guy with the best #'s and didn't let overall team success get in the way
good call.
I'm sure a lot of ppl were buried betting Verly

Price is a great pitcher...Verlander got shelled by the giants in both the AS game and the WS...i knew after AS game if Verlander made it to the face the giants in the WS he would face the same fate and he did...

how is King Felix not in top 3? Guy would be a solid 20 game winner in most other teams. Guy was getting no run support.

I thought Weaver would have scored higher. I still believe he's been the best pitcher since the start of last year.
