Thoughts on Tim Lincecum, the Cy Young and wins
Original at Extra Baggs
• Thu, Nov 19
By Andrew Baggarly OK, so what about wins? Carpenter was 17-4 and Lincecum was 15-7. On paper, that’s a pretty big swing. But in 2009, I watched Lincecum all season. I didn’t think it was a Cy Young season. And if anyone should’ve come away with that sense, it’s the beat writers who cover him.
