I posted a lot about the Giants rookie Tim Lincecum last season. This year he's proving I was right to do so. Check out these numbers:
9-1 (even more impressive because he's pitching for an awful Giants team.)
2.38 ERA (2nd in the NL)
114 SO (1st in the NL)
It looks like he's got a real shot at the Cy Young award if he can keep up at the pace he's on now. Although it will take a bit of a miracle to keep winning at a 90% clip while pitching for the Giants.
Also: Barry Zito who? Ah Barry "leads the NL in losses" Zito.
Barry Zito: 3-12, 5.99 ERA (ouch.)
Looks like they gave the wrong pitcher the $126 million contract.
