| 11th November, 2008 - 5:39 pm | San Francisco Chronicle - Chris De Luca, national baseball writer of the Chicago Sun-Times, was the lone voter to leave Tim Lincecum off his Cy Young ballot.
De Luca was actually a season ticket holder with the Giants until 1984.
"It's funny because toward the end of the season, in early September, I was thinking Lincecum would be in my top two," De Luca said. "I thought Webb's victories (22) stood out to me more than anything, and Lincecum didn't have the victories. Twenty victories was a big deal. We had a stretch there where no one was hitting 20.
"Santana (undefeated after June 28) stood out because there was so much pressure not just being in New York, but to be who he is. With Lidge being a perfect closer (41-for-41 in save chances), that was a tough pick for me, not to pick him No. 1." [READ] |
