Im not saying the pitcher with the most wins should win but c'mon, what do people know Cy Young for? 511 wins.
wins is one of the least important stats when it comes to pitchers
also, if cy young pitched today, in an era if specialized pitchers, 5 man rotations, limited pitch counts, etc - he would have won 245 games
also, sabermetrics kicks the rear end of traditional stats, by a lot. they are not "made up", they just arent for the intellectually challenged
