This year's award was a battle of good pitchers without a great one in the bunch. Webb wins by default with a year that would not even be noticed many years.
I don't know about default. He had 9 no decisions w/ a team that can't score runs. He's got good stuff and on a more successful team, he might have got more notice.
Yes...Webb kind of deserves the award, even if it is because no one pulled away with the award this year. Webb is still a better choice than Carpenter.
