we find out in 30 minutes
I was surprised that Tim Lincecum won the ESPN mock vote, so while yesterday I said that there was no chance in hell of Lincecum getting it thanks to his mere 15 wins, I'm a little more confident now...although, I still think it'll probably go to Carpenter or Wainwright.Quote:

Can two players on the same team 'steal' votes from each other?
Well, one of the SF writer votes goes to Chris Carpenter.
Why? Mainly second-half performance.
I'm glad this writer shrugged off the homerism, though, and actually seemed to put thought into the ballot and justified it with a semblance of reason rather than intangible notions of "toughness." Though Lincecum would be my pick, I think Carpenter is perfectly justifiable.
I hear this notion a lot, usually in regards to the MVP voting, but don't quite understand how or if it works in practice.Quote:

I would hope not, and i don 't see it happening in practice.
it's not like they had identical seasons...their years were actually very different.
and i am happy that the san fran writer isn't a homer, and did his vote correctly, granted, had he voted for lince, we wouldn't know if he was that kind of writer
wow, you see the comments that people are writing?Quote:

Tim Lincecum wins.
Wow.
Adam Wainwright actually had the most 1st place votes with 12, but came in third behind Lincecum and Carpenter.
What a close one.
damnit!
carp and waino hurt each other by being in it ;)
splitting the second and third place votes.
that sucks, but lince earned it....
carp and waino earned it too, but that sucks
Wow, way to go writers. Greinke, and now this...my faith is being redeemed in baseball writers. Maybe more are actually taking their job seriously.
Now, what to do about those Gold Gloves...
Give the vote to the writers....? ;)Quote:

Give it a couple more years, and we'll see...but things do seem to be looking up. I don't doubt that the influx of internet writers and younger writers has to do with it.
Its good to see they recognize performance over wins.
