Actually, I like Kluber. I had been looking forward all week to the award presentation and it was the first time I had ever listened to Kluber talk. I have to admit that after listening to him and hearing the finalists discussed, I was sort of hoping he would get the award - very nice, humble guy, and his performance this year was really special. Felix will have great years almost every year, but this was Kluber's first, so you hope he does well in the future, but he doesn't have a history of it yet. If he doesn't have a great career, at least he has this Cy Young Award.

Also, I think that one bad start in Toronto did it for Felix - all the starters let us down during that stretch, and the voters had to be thinking about it. If that bad start had come early, and Felix had instead finished with his record-setting streak, the vote might have been different.
