The Internet Baseball Writers of America announced their AL Cy Young award winner, Justin Verlander:

The Internet Baseball Writers Association of America (IBWAA) announced the fourth of its 14 annual awards Friday, unanimously naming Detroit Tigers’ pitcher Justin Verlander its 2011 AL Cy Young Award winner.

Voting results are as follows:

1st Place: Justin Verlander, Det
2nd Place: Jered Weaver, LAA
3rd Place: CC Sabathia, NYY
4th Place: James Shields, TB
5th Place: Dan Haren, LAA

IBWAA Rookie and Comeback awards will be announced Monday, October 10, followed by Manager and Executive awards Wednesday, and Reliever awards Friday.

I really can’t argue with that ranking. Verlander pretty much did everything right this season.
