Well, perhaps there will be more disunity here.

Tiny Tim Lincecum

Two months ago this was Lincecum all the way. But the St. Louis combo has made this really interesting. I still have to go with Lincecum. I'm bummed the Giants couldn't get to the postseason. He alone would've given the Giants a chance in any series.

Lincecum had a better year this year, then he did last year. He's amazing.

And yet, for the time he pitched, Carpenter was flat-out better.

Better offense, less innings.

Better offense can swing other ways though. Having a better offense can do things like push your ERA up, because you already have a 5 run lead and can afford to give up a run for an out. Yet, he still kicked arse. Lower ERA, better WHIP.

It can work the other way too. Lincecum and Cain were pitching tight all year.

Lincecum, Carpenter, Wainwright are all worthy. If Carp pitched a tad bit more innings, then the choice is obvious. I still like him though, but this award is alot closer than most realize. I remember Kalapse had a question for everyone on who would you take this year as a 1-2 punch, Carp/Wain or Cain/Lince. You first look and say its obvious, but then you check the numbers and see them pitch.. it's alot closer than most realize.

Carpenter (and Hill from Toronto) won the comeback player of the year award, I guess he can still win the Cy Young, but I voted Lincecum, the freaKKK.

Well, I'm impressively surprised by how this vote looks.

Definitely Carpenter.

Carpenter

Heard on the radio today that Wainwright had 6 losses in which he gave up 2 or fewer earned runs.
