Zack Greinke is good, and he deserves to be in the feature photo over Tim Lincecum.

AL results:

Rk	Player	Team	1st	2nd	3rd	Pts
1	Zack Greinke	Kansas City Royals	28	1	-	143
2	Felix Hernandez	Seattle Mariners	-	17	6	57
3	Justin Verlander	Detroit Tigers	-	8	9	33
4	Roy Halladay	Toronto Blue Jays	1	2	11	22
5	CC Sabathia	New York Yankees	-	1	2	5
6	Jon Lester	Boston Red Sox	-	-	1	1

As I calculated last night in one of the comments, the maximum number of ballots a player could have appeared on was 36 (14 teams x 2 ballots=28, 4 non-team-specific blogs x 2=8, 28 + 8=36). However, I don't know the exact number of ballots cast, but maybe it was 29, because if you didn't vote Zack Greinke anywhere on the ballot . . .

NL Results:

Rk	Player	Team	1st	2nd	3rd	Pts
1	Tim Lincecum	San Francisco Giants	18	13	-	129
2	Chris Carpenter	St. Louis Cardinals	9	4	7	64
3	Adam Wainwright	St. Louis Cardinals	4	4	10	42
4	Javier Vazquez	Atlanta Braves	-	5	7	22
5	Dan Haren	Arizona Diamondbacks	-	3	4	13
6	Ubaldo Jimenez	Colorado Rockies	-	1	1	4
7	Cliff Lee	Philadelphia Phillies	-	-	1	1
8	Jair Jurrjens	Atlanta Braves	-	-	1	1

Purple Row's top four looked just like this one. I gave the second-place vote to Jimenez, and maybe Rox Girl gave the third-place one?

Sorry if this has been posted already. I particularly enjoyed no. 8 in NL Manager of the Year.

It's funny

To run down some of those lists to see who got confusing MVP and Cy Young 1st place votes. I mean, yeah, I can totally see a good rational argument for Joe Blanton as the NL MVP.

Y'know

I looked really quickly at the AL Cy Young results, and thought “wait, someone didn’t give Greinke their #1 vote?” Then I realized that it went to Halladay, and that’s the only guy I could see giving it to besides Greinke.
