Tim Lincecum 2009 Cy Young Award Argument

[Rich the Giants fan]

Another wonderful season of baseball is in the books, leaving us with yet another long winter of staring out the window and waiting for spring. It’s also that time of year to renew the annual debate over individual post-season honors. As I did last season, I have delved into the issue of who deserves to be awarded the coveted Cy Young trophy in the National League. And as was the case last year, I cannot deny my obvious bias. Tim Lincecum, if you didn’t already know, is my favorite player is the game. Biased or not, and after some intensive and in-depth crunching of the numbers of all the league’s top pitchers, I have come to the conclusion that Timmy has been, for the second consecutive year, the best pitcher overall in the senior circuit.

I have no problem with either Lincecum or Carpenter

it Wainwright wins it would be awarding a pitcher for getting huge run support

in most other categories besides wins and IP, Wainwright is not among the NL top ten
i AM TALKING HITS PER 9, k/9, bb PER 9 ETC

No need to convince me. I've been touting that for most of the year.

I would not be dissapointed with Lincecum or carpenter won. Anyone else would be a letdown. Lincecum is a more strikeout pitcher and had more innings, carpenter had a slightly better ERA, WHIP and more wins.
Carpenter was better in fewer innings but Lincecum was close and had significantly more innings. Toss up for me.
