Tim Lincecum finishes in a tie for 10th in the voting for the N.L. Cy Young Award
26-year old righty starting pitcher Tim Lincecum finished in a tie for 10th in the N.L. Cy Young Award voting with Brett Myers. Lincecum started 33 games during the regular season for the Giants and he was 16-10 with a 3.43 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP. It was the 3rd year in a row that Lincecum led the N.L. in strikeouts. Lincecum won the Cy Young Award in 2008+2009 with the Giants but I’m sure he’s happy to have traded in that award for 2010 for the World Series Champions ring he’s going to get. Lincecum was outstanding in the post season for the Giants pitching in 6 games (5 starts) in which he was 4-1 with a 2.43 ERA and a 0.92 WHIP. Lincecum has now pitched in 123 games (122 starts) in his first four years with the Giants and he is 56-27 with a 3.04 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP.
