I can't realistically compare that to a guy who played in 148 games (or more). As far as the Cy Young, Tim Lincecum deserved it. He pitched as well as Sabathia on one of the worst teams in the NL. I don't usually use wins as a way to judge performance from pitching, but if a guy can win 18 games for a team that only won 72, that's pretty impressive.

Sabathia damn near singlehandedly carried the Brewers into the postseason. To be jobbed out of both the MVP and Cy Young is unconscionable.
