Does that mean that Farmer finished ahead of Humphrey in the All-League calculation? 2. If so, what's the dichotomy between Cy Young and All-League that's making that show up differently? This award stuff is all just for fun, but I'm curious as to how it all happens.

There is not ordering to the all-league pitchers on the awards page. There are just two starters and one closer selected. They are displayed in no particular order. Steve

Dale had a nice year, but Ramon lopez had a great year, and I am really jealous I don't have him on my staff. He is going to dominate for the next 10 seasons.
