I think Lincecum is better than CC, but let's not crown him "the best pitcher in baseball" after only 1 full season. He hasn't even won 20 games yet. That title still belongs to Santana, who would have won the Cy Young last year again if the bullpen hadn't blown 9 games on him.
I can understand the argument that Santana is the best pitcher in baseball. He has been so over the past few years. But I don't understand why you rip Lincecum for not winning 20 even though he's played on a losing team that offered little run support, but blame Santana's failure to win 9 additional games on the bullpen even though he played for a team with a winning record?
