That's how I voted this year, and that was the order when the Baseball Writers' Association of America announced the award Monday night.
But it turns out I went against the crowd when it came to the third and final spot on my list.
The race between Flaherty and Anderson was close. Anderson received four third-place votes to Flaherty's two.
The race between Flaherty and Buehler was not close. Buehler received one first-place vote, one second-place vote and 20 third-place votes. He beat Flaherty by 26 points.
