Jayson Stark, ESPN: "Like everyone else who has watched Sabathia pitch, I'd love to figure out a way to give him some kind of award. But this is the 'National League Cy Young,' not the 'Multi-League Cy Young' or the "Final 2 3/4-Months of the Year Cy Young." So I think this award should go to the pitcher who has outperformed all his National League competition for the entire season, not just the portion of the season in which Sabathia has been in his league. And if you look seriously at the big picture -- not just win totals or the last two months -- I believe that pitcher is Tim Lincecum."
