http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/columns/story?columnist=stark_jayson&id=1892977 From Jayson Stark旧 column today entitled Best, worst of 2004, AZ won two awards. RJ for NL Cy Young and Edgar Gonzalez for NL Cy Yuck (and Casey Fossum was Cy Yuck runner up). National League Cy Young RANDY JOHNSON, DIAMONDBACKS -- There is probably no tougher call to make on any award than trying to sort out the Randy Johnson-versus-Roger Clemens Cy Young debate. But this isn't supposed to be the Most Valuable Pitcher award. And it isn't the Best Pitcher on a Winning Team award. It's supposed to go to the guy who has pitched the best. So if we apply that standard for Johan Santana in the AL, how can we not apply it for the Unit in the NL? Except for wins and losses, Johnson has outpitched Clemens in every significant category. And in many ways, it's the Unit's greatest season ever. No NL pitcher since Gibson in '68 has pitched as many innings as Johnson and allowed this few baserunners (7.99 per 9 IP). Entering the weekend, he was 12-2 when his team scored more than two runs for him. He has more wins against teams with a winning record (10-5) than Clemens (8-3) -- or any other Cy Young contender, for that matter. And Johnson has made six starts in which he allowed one earned run or none but didn't win. So there's not much more he could have done to win this thing -- except maybe hit 20 homers, or approve that trade to the Dodgers. BALLOT: 1) Johnson, 2) Clemens, 3) Carlos Zambrano. National League Cy Yuk EDGAR GONZALEZ, DIAMONDBACKS -- It may be true that Edgar Gonzalez spent less than half of the season in the big leagues. But he still had a season so historically horrendous, it was impossible to overlook. He made 10 starts, and his team lost all 10 of them. But at least that's been done. Going 0-9, with a 9.32 ERA, for his season's work, on the other hand -- that hadn't been done in over a century. The only other pitcher in history to make that many s tarts, win none of them and have an ERA over 9.00 was the immortal Charlie Stecher, who went 0-10, 10.32, for the 1890 Philadelphia Athletics -- and was actually worse than that, if those 32 unearned runs he also gave up were any indication. But in more modern times, Gonzalez joins just the unforgettable Terry Felton (0-13 for the 1982 Twins) as the only starting pitchers in the last 75 years to go winless in a season of nine decisions or more. And it took every one of those nine losses for him to out-yuk Hideo Nomo, whose 8.25 ERA in 18 starts was the second-highest in history for a pitcher who was allowed out there that often (trailing only Steve Blass' 9.81 in 1973). CYS OF RELIEF TO: Nomo, Casey Fossum, Jose Acevedo, Rocky Biddle. There are only 4 pitchers in the NL with more wins this year than Randy Johnson. None of those four pitchers had the privilege of playing on a losing team (much less a 100+ loss team), and none of them came close to matching Randy's pitching performance this year. Following is the statistical match-up of Randy versus the four NL pitchers with more than his 16 wins this year: ERA Randy Johnson 2.60 Ben Sheets 2.70 Carlos Zambrano 2.75 Roger Clemens 2.98 Carl Pavano 3.00 Jason Schmidt 3.29 Roy Oswalt 3.49 K旧 Randy Johnson 290 Ben Sheets 264 Jason Schmidt 242 Roger Clemens 218 Roy Oswalt 206 Carlos Zambrano 188 Carl Pavano 139 IP Randy Johnson 245.2 Ben Sheets 237.0 Roy Oswalt 237.0 Carl Pavano 222.1 Jason Schmidt 219.0 Roger Clemens 214.1 Carlos Zambrano 209.2 WHIP Randy Johnson 0.90 Ben Sheets 0.98 Jason Schmidt 1.09 Roger Clemens 1.16 Carl Pavano 1.17 Carlos Zambrano 1.22 Roy Oswalt 1.24 BAA Randy Johnson .197 Jason Schmidt .205 Roger Clemens .217 Ben Sheets .225 Carlos Zambrano .225 Carl Pavano .253 Roy Oswalt .260 16 wins for a team that has lost 111 games (and probably 112 after Sunday) and leading in every statistical category over the only four pitchers with more than his 16 wins. Bias or not, it would seem very difficult for a sportswriter with a brain and a conscience to not vote this year for Johnson as NL Cy Young 会不会拿下今年NL Cy Young Award就交给评审投票决定吧:) --
