You can add 9 wins to Lincecum's win total as well for the same reason. The Giants relief staff was terrible last year, aside from Brian Wilson.

Irish and SB, as far as Wang goes, if you put him on most other teams he wouldn't have nearly as many wins because the Yankees lineup is stacked. He gets a lot of run support. He's not a bad pitcher of course, but he would have average win totals on normal teams.
