The MLB is the highest level a player can reach in professional baseball. More specifically, MLB refers to the organization that operates North American professional baseball's two major leagues, the National League and the American League. On an organizational level, MLB effectively operates as a single "league," and as such it constitutes one of the major professional sports leagues in North America.

For so many years, the formula for winning a Cy Young Award was pretty simple: Win a lot of games. Denny McLain was a unanimous pick in 1968 and deservedly so. He posted 31 victories — the combined total of this year's Cy Young starters, Tim Lincecum and Zack Greinke. A whopping win total, a good ERA and a bunch of strikeouts often brought home the hardware. But the perception of pitching has changed, with fans and voters now relying more heavily on new-age stats such as WHIP (hits plus walks per inning) and FIP (a designer equation that factors out a team's defensive ...

The Cy Young award winners were announced this week, and as many predicted Zack Greinke won in the AL and Tim Lincecum won in the NL. This shows some forward thinking by the BBWAA, who usually determine the winner of this award by the number of wins and losses a pitcher has and their ERA. Chris Carpenter came in a close 2nd place, losing out by only 6 points. The reason the vote was so close was that Carpenter had a better record and ERA (17-4, 2.24) than Lincecum (15-7, 2.48). The problem with using these statistics to determine anything is that they are ... Read Full Story

As we all know by now, the Yankees expect to win it all every season and will do what they need to do in order to at least have a chance. The 2010 season will be no different. After winning their 27th World Series Championship earlier this month, they will begin to build the 2010 roster today as free agency begins. Nobody seems to really know which way the Yankees will turn. Do they re-sign Johnny Damon and Hideki Matsui? Will Andy Pettitte return? Do they keep Joba Chamberlain and Phil Hughes in the bullpen or return them to the starting rotation? Who comes ... Read Full Story
NEW YORK (AP) Talk about a freak — Tim Lincecum needed just 15 wins to bag another NL Cy Young Award. Yup, throw out those old baseball cards. Wins and losses don't mean much anymore when it comes time for voters to pick baseball's best pitchers. It's all about WHIP, FIP, BABIP and other lines of alphabet soup.

San Francisco Giants ace Tim Lincecum won the NL Cy Young Award on Thursday for the second consecutive season to become the first repeat winner since Randy Johnson, emerging from one of the tightest votes in the history of the honor. The wiry right-hander, nicknamed "The Freak" for his giant stride, led the NL with 261 strikeouts and tied for the league lead with four complete games and two shutouts.

It's hard to imagine a pitcher with a 15-7 record winning the National League Cy Young award, yet the San Francisco Giants' Tim Lincecum has done just that. In fact, it's his second consecutive Cy Young award, placing him among the elite of all-time, despite his young age, 25.

For the second straight year, San Francisco Giants right-hander Tim Lincecum has been named National League's Cy Young Award winner by members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America.

Lincecum placed first on 11 of the 32 ballots cast by two writers from each NL city to finish just six points ahead of St. Louis' Chris Carpenter, making him the first repeat winner since Arizona's Randy Johnson won four straight from 1999-2002.

ESPN has just announced that Tim Lincecum has become the first MLB repeat winner of the Cy Young Award since Randy Johnson won four in succession from 1999-2002. Lincecum, in my opinion, won the award by default this season. I don't think the voters could choose between Chris Carpenter and Adam Wainwright, both of the St. Louis Cardinals, so they chose Lincecum by default. Carpenter led the league in ERA with a dazzling 2.24 and the best ERA...
