Now we're getting to the big boy awards.
We've given away our Manager and Rookie of the Year awards, but today we reveal the winner of the Cy Youngs.
Maybe there will be a shocker. Maybe us bloggers found out that Zack Greinke doesn't believe in Santa Claus. Or maybe Tim Lincecum's pot bust made us all revert our votes and give him 3rd placers.
Maybe, but probably not.
