Roy Halladay Was NL's Best No Matter Your Measure

This was the easy one.

Of all the awards handed out by the BBWAA this fall, perhaps none will be as anticlimactic as the NL Cy Young Award. Not only was this a pretty easy pick when the season ended, but it was the pick that many folks came up with before the season even started.

Phillies ace Roy Halladay won his second Cy Young Award on Tuesday, and it wasn't close. In his first run through the National League, Halladay led the league in innings, complete games, shutouts and strikeouts per walk. He was second in the league in ERA and WAR (on Baseball-Reference.com).

And, oh yeah, he also led the league in victories, for whatever that's worth.
