Last year's CY Young Award winner and the best young pitcher in baseball.

1. emphasis on young

He still looks 15 lol. No offense intended; he is an awesome pitcher. But people are always commenting on his uber-young looks. I mean...is he ever stopped at the door in ballparks and asked for his ID?

And how are you defining young?

Lincecum will be 25 in June. He was 18-5 2.62 last season. Rich Harden is 27 and 10-2 2.07. Dan Haren is 28 3.33 16-8. Then there's CC Sabathia (28) Is Lincecum the best pitcher under the age of 25 right now? Probably. But let's see where he is when he has more than 2 seasons under his belt.

3. You're right

there are other good young pitchers...but in 227 IP last year, he gave up only 182 hits with 265 strikeouts.

He's got the kind of stuff most can only dream about.

2. Sexy

No Romo

4. Nice. I like this shot of him next to the other guys.

I'm not too confident Noah's arm is coming back. :(

[Upton]

5. Yeah..I guess Lowry had a setback this past week...

coming back from those surgeries he had is going to be tough. Sanchez is probably the fifth starter anyway but it would be nice to have a healthy Lowry..

6. Which one is Barry zito?

[cboy4]

7. ....

Just kidding.

I think he's going to actually have a good season.

[Onceuponalife]

8. Yeah, he can't do worse

I'm betting Jason Schmidt has a better year.

9. Let's hope you're not actually betting real money.

:rofl:

10. monopoly money maybe

or the money from my stimulus check lol.

Speaking of jokes. looks like the midgets and their "best pitching staff in the league" have gotten off to a great start in ST: 51 runs allowed in 6 games.

Ouch.

[cboy4]

11. And the Dodgers aren't going to get Manny

Ouch.

They'll be lucky to win 70 games this year.
