When it comes down to it I firmly believe that the 5-11, 168 pound Tim Lincecum deserves to be the NL's Cy Young award winner. Looking at the numbers, Tim was 18-5 with a 2.62 ERA in 227 innings this season. Not bad for being on a team of, "a bunch of has-beens and never-will-be's." As the line goes from Major League. The Giants were just 72-90 in '08. Some of my other pitchers in consideration are CC Sabathia from The Crew, Brandon Webb from the D'Backs, or possibly even Johan Santana from the Mets. CC is more of a candidate for MVP (Go Brewers!), and he struggled early in the year with the Cleveland Indians. Webb started off hotter than Marisa Miller, but kinda faded a little in the middle of the year and watched his team crumble around him. Johan Santana can always be considered as long as he stays off the shelf.
Lincecum was the most consistent throughout the year on a mediocre team. If I had a vote, Tim Lincecum gets my vote any day of the week.
