In a slight surprise, Cleveland Indians starter C.C. Sabathia was named the AL Cy Young award winner.
Remember, the voting was done before the post-season and only considered regular season performances.
Sabathia received 19-first place votes with 119 total points. Boston's Josh Beckett received 8-first place votes with 86 total points.
"Sabathia, 19-7 with a 3.21 ERA, received a $2.25 million bump in pay by winning the Cy Young. He gets a $250,000 bonus and will earn $11 million in 2008 instead of $9 million."
