CY goes to the best pitcher, not necessarily the most valuable. However, Rivera has been both this year. Colon's only qualification is his 20 wins. His ERA was 3rd best ON HIS TEAM, and he was behind Lackey in strikeouts. The only logical argument against Rivera is that several closers had comparable numbers this year - namely Wagner, Cordero, Turnbow. Of course, all of them are in the NL where there is more than one starter to compete against.
