Cy Young voter who snubbed Justin Verlander: ‘I did the best I could’
以下节录这篇对于今年赛扬奖报导中 投票记者Chastain的说法
“I feel bad that people are upset about this; I did the best I could,”
Chastain told the New York Daily News on Wednesday. “I went around the
clubhouse, I asked guys. I agonized over this. The biggest thing for me was
between (Baltimore closer Zach) Britton and Porcello.”
Many believed Zach Britton deserved to be a finalist, if not the outright
winner of the award. Five other voters gave Britton first-place votes, so
Chastain won’t get any argument for placing him ahead of Verlander. Where he
admitted he may have erred though is the timing of his submission.
Chastain says he turned in his ballot one week before the season ended,
meaning he didn't factor in Verlander's strong finish (one run over 14.2
innings in his final two starts), which lowered his ERA to 3.04 and put him
ahead of Porcello (3.15).
“At the time, I thought I picked the best five guys,” said Chastain, who
voted for Porcello, Britton, Kluber, Chris Sale and Masahiro Tanaka in that
order.
“Maybe I should have waited until the end. When I voted, it looked
pretty clear to me.”
Might Chastain’s ballot have looked differently had he waited until the day
after the season ended to submit it?
“I don’t know,” Chastain said. “There’s nothing I can do about it now.”
所以这位记者在例行赛结束前一周就把CY投票交出去了......
也是可能造成他没把Verlander放进名单内的原因
他也提到之前大家主要在讨论Porcello和Britton等等
他当时觉得他的确投给了最好的五位投手
“也许我应该等例行赛结束再投票”.......
我觉得赛扬奖投票还是要等例行赛完全结束才能好好评估吧@@
