Rob Neyer, SweetSpot...com, did not include Chris Carpenter on their ballots. Carroll had Wainwright in the top spot, Tim Lincecum second and Arizona's Dan Haren third. Law voted for Lincecum, Atlanta's Javier Vazquez and...
Blog | November 19, 2009Do both Cy Youngs signal shift?
Rob Neyer, SweetSpot...National League is a completely different thing. Where Greinke finished the season second on the Predictor list, Lincecum finished fourth. And more relevantly, third among starters. And not just third; a deep third. While Zack...
Blog | November 19, 2009Greinke almost unanimous
Rob Neyer, SweetSpot...it's all about performance rather than media buzz and support from your teammates. If so, Tim Lincecum's in for some good news tomorrow
Blog | November 17, 2009Cliff Lee a secret weapon no more
Rob Neyer, SweetSpot...last two seasons. Among those 24 pitchers, Lee has the fourth-best adjusted ERA, behind only Tim Lincecum, Zack Greinke, and Roy Halladay. He's got the third-best strikeout-to-walk ratio, behind...
Blog | October 29, 2009What's next for the Dodgers?
Rob Neyer, SweetSpot...in the next two or three seasons. Everybody wants their own CC Sabathia or Lee or Tim Lincecum, but there are only so many of those guys to go around. And with all of...

Rob Neyer, SweetSpot...on Mark Reynolds' salary next year. The Giants weren't nearly as lucky (or smart) with Tim Lincecum, though, which is going to cost them many millions. wezen-ball goes to a great deal...
Blog | October 21, 2009Still fighting over Cy Young in AL
Rob Neyer, SweetSpot...and his winning percentage significantly better. So while I think Wainwright will win -- and I think Tim Lincecum should win (but won't) -- we might be surprised a bit by this one. Meanwhile...
Blog | October 03, 2009Is Molina the Giants' greatest catcher?
Rob Neyer, SweetSpot...to serve as the primary catcher for a Cy Young Award winner. For Molina, it was Tim Lincecum. For Tom Haller, it was Mike McCormick in 1967. Haller, who hit .248 with 107 homers...

Rob Neyer, SweetSpot...his bargaining position, tying him for the league lead with San Francisco's twin aces, Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain. But team president Frank Coonelly strongly rejected any link. "It was JR...
Blog | September 29, 2009What's next for the Giants?
Rob Neyer, SweetSpot...it's not real likely but it's not out of the question, either. Tim Lincecum's been the best pitcher in the league for two years running and I wouldn...
Blog | September 24, 2009With Greinke, why stop at Cy Young?
Rob Neyer, SweetSpot...overall valuations is that the greatest pitchers are every bit as valuable as the greatest hitters. Tim Lincecum is worth exactly as much as Albert Pujols; Zack Greinke is worth every bit as much...

Rob Neyer, SweetSpot...time, Carpenter and Wainwright seem to be the top candidates in the National League, ahead of Tim Lincecum, who, like Greinke has the lowest ERA in his league but only 13 wins, thanks to...
Blog | September 14, 2009Bumgarner's debut: 'Where's the heat?'
Rob Neyer, SweetSpot...a changeup, really? Well, sure. Even CC Sabathia throws 15-20 changeups per game. So does Tim Lincecum. It's generally believed that almost every starting pitcher needs an off-speed pitch, even...
Blog | September 09, 2009Giants' Lincecum out, Bumgarner in
Rob Neyer, SweetSpot...Bruce Bochy, who to this point has shown a baffling reluctance to get Posey into a game. Tim Kawakami's been all over this ... Posey wasn't in the original call-ups. Then...
