San Francisco right-hander Tim Lincecum is at it again.
He was amazing last season on his way to the National League Cy Young award, and he's been tremendous through the halfway point of the 2009 season.
He has an 8-2 record with an earned run average of 2.37, second-best in the NL. His 132 strikeouts lead the National League.
I watched most of his last outing against the Cardinals in St. Louis and he was practically unhittable. He shutout the Cards, allowing just 2 hits and no walks.
He's listed at 5'11", 170 pounds (probably more like 155), but he throws hard (97-98 mph fast ball) and has a great curve. He's well on his way to a second consecutive Cy Young award, and I can't think of another pitcher I'd rather have on my team.
