Every year SB Nation takes a poll of the various Major League Baseball network blogs to determine winners for Rookie of the Year, Cy Young, and Most Valuable Player. The official BBWAA awards come out next week, but we name our own winners this week, continuing today with the American League Cy Young Award.
The 2011 American League Cy Young Award Winner is Justin Verlander of the Detroit Tigers. The voting:
