Rollingrox – The facts don’t back you up on Lincecum. He leads Carpenter and Wainwright in ERA; strikeouts; innings; opponents’ average, OBP and OPS; complete games; shutouts; strikeout/walk ratio; and strikeouts per nine innings. Carpenter has a slightly (.04) lower WHIP, but other than that the only major category where they have Lincecum beat is wins, which is a stat the pitcher himself has some of the least control over. As good as Wainwright and Carpenter have been, nobody in the league has been as dominant as Lincecum has been.

Apologies accepted
Still, even with Lincecum, the Giants would need a miracle to get beyond the first round of the playoffs. Other than the big panda, they have Morales, Renteria and Uribe in the middle of the order, how could you expect any better with that?

This is a disappointing post for several reasons: first, Wainwright and Carpenter have been every bit as good as Lincecum this year. Is he great? Yes, but he is not definitively the best pitcher in the league; second, Pablo Sandoval is an entertaining player, but he’s nowhere near as complete a player as Troy Tulowitzki. If he played for Boston, NY or the Cubs, there is no way he would be ignored the way he has been. In fact, if the Rockies were based on the east coast or in California, they’d be considered a leading contender for the World Series. Please, Mr. Gleeman, try to put your bias aside and notice how compelling this Rockies team has been since Jim Tracy took over.
