Clemens deserves the Cy Young.

here's why:
1. Clemens' W-L record of 18-4 is so far superior to Johnson's record of 16-14, that it trumps Johnson's statistical edges in ERA (2.60 to 2.98), WHIP (0.90 to 1.16), IP (245 to 214), and K (290 to 218). Clemens had the edge in HR's Allowed (18 to 15).

btw: another statistical factor (called the Ballpark Index) that favors Clemens, is that he achieved his success while pitching in a more "hitter-friendly" ballpark.
