Felix Hernandez is in contention to win the Cy Young despite a possibly record low amount of wins. Six out of nine top baseball execs sided with Hernandez over anyone else, including CC Sabathia and David Price, who have far more wins than Hernandez while pitching for better teams. Last year's Cy Young winners had record-low win totals of 15 (Tim Lincecum) and 16 (Zack Greinke) for starting pitchers. But Hernandez, who was only 11-11 at the time of the nine interviews/contacts (some execs responded by text) on Friday but notched his 12th win later that night against the first-place Rangers, provides the most extreme example to date of a low victory total with excellent other numbers. "I would hope voters have gotten to the point where wins -- while a factor -- are only a very small part of the calculus given how dependent an individual's total is upon his team's run scoring, defense and bullpen performances,'' said one American League executive. "Based upon what the individuals have done, my ballot would be Felix, CC (and Jered) Weaver.''
