Tim Lincecum Wins Cy Young

AUTHOR: Bryan | IN: Players, Popular | COMMENTS: 3 Comments

Wow! I wasn’t expecting that! Was it the curse of two teammates splitting votes (Carpenter and Wainwright of St. Louis)? Either way, Lord Lincecum becomes the first pitcher in history to win the Cy Young award in his first two seasons – a simply jaw dropping accomplishment.
Congrats to Tim for another amazing season.

Giants To Move On From Randy Winn

AUTHOR: Bryan | IN: Players | COMMENTS: 2 Comments

The San Francisco Giants informed outfielder Randy Winn today that they will not be bringing the one time fan favorite back. Winn, 35, has played for the Giants for almost five seasons.
After coming to the Giants in the middle of the 2005 season, Winn had one of the best 50 game stretches in recent MLB history, hitting nearly .360 with 14 home runs in only 58 games.
Injuries and age caught up with the vet in the past two seasons as his numbers and game began to fade.
Winn is regarded as the best to ever play right field at SBC Park.
