I can't fathom that many people picked Wainwright over either of the other 2. - Will Hunting Nov 19, 11:30 9
- I think some writers just say, "well he has the most wins so thats my choice". - AJRimmer Nov 19, 11:37
- There are probably a few goofballs who looked at Wainwrights Wins. *shrug* (nm) - musubi Nov 19, 11:37 6
  - IIRC Jack McDowell won a Cy Young, with an ERA of high 3. something. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 19, 11:43 5
    - Forget Blackjack, look at Bartolo Colon's Cy Young, that one was crazy. (nm) - musubi Nov 19, 11:45 3
      - Kinda ahrd to make a case for anyone else in that race though. - Will Hunting Nov 19, 11:47 2
        
        ?? 2.87 ERA in 230 innings, 238 K vs 45 BBs!! - musubi Nov 19, 11:52 1
        
        Oh yeah, almost forgot, 0.97 WHIP. Colon had a fine year, but 3.48 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, 222 IP, 157Ks and 43 BB. - musubi Nov 19, 11:55
    - 22-10 with a 3.37 ERA in 1993 for a division winning team. - Will Hunting Nov 19, 11:45

his stats weren't better though. other than his Ks. Which apparently was pretty important. -- nm - Jim Nov 19, 11:30 7
- Lincecum had significant edges in K and IP, Carp had an small edge in ERA. WHIP was a wash. Lincecum was deserving. - musubi Nov 19, 11:34
- 120 extra K's (vs Carpenter) is a full 40 innings pitched that Lincecum himself got the outs. - Will Hunting Nov 19, 11:31 5
  - That's my point. Carpenter had him beat in every other statistical category, except IP. - Jim Nov 19, 11:33 4
    - An ERA diff at .2 at 2.25 and 2.45 is not huge. WHIP at 1.01 & 1.05 is not huge. 144 vs 261 K's is monsterous. - Will Hunting Nov 19, 11:39 1
      - BABIP is Carp at .255, Lincecum at .275 and Wainwright at .290 - Will Hunting Nov 19, 11:42
    - Carp's edges were very small. Lincecum's edges were big. (nm) - musubi Nov 19, 11:36 1
      - so they're all size queens? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 11:37
