Cy Young/MVP/Gold Glove awards are all a very poor way of judging a players' HoF worthiness since a lot of the time those awards don't go to the proper guy because the BBWAA is, quite frankly, full of idiots.
Moose should have won the award in 1992, as he was the best pitcher in the AL that year. Unfortunately, voters couldn't see past Eckersley's 51 saves even though he only gave the A's less than half the value Moose gave the O's.
There's a million examples of things like that throughout baseball history.
