Robwhat ARE (or should be) the main factors in determining Cy Young?
In my opinion, ERA should be the #1 factor heads and shoulders above the other factors. But still playing a role, in the following order IMO, are:
2) Innings pitched (the more innings pitched, the more likely you helped your team and saved your bullpen etc)
3) Opponent Avg and OBP
4) Wins
5) Strikeouts
6) Other stuff, like CGs, fielding?, # of walks, etc.
I wanted to put Strikeouts above wins, but couldn't
