Santana third for Cy Young
Well, at least I got Obama right.
Call me a homer if you must, but I did put Johan Santana first on my Cy Young ballot this year, followed by Tim Lincecum and Brad Lidge.
Santana did have the NL's best ERA, and with adequate help from either his lineup or bullpen, he would have 20 wins.
Lincecum was dominant (18-5) for a bad Giants team, however, and he did have 265 strikeouts -- 59 more than the second-place trio of Santana, Dan Haren and Edinson Volquez.

You couldn't go wrong picking Santana or Lincecum. Solid vote David.
Unfortunately I can't say the same for the guys who voted for Webb....
