On Lincecum, where are you getting 177 innings? ...
... oh, okay, you're combining his minors and majors IP in his first partial year. Yes, I guess per the ROY award, that burned his 'rookie' year.
OK, the first year that he started the season in the Giants' rotation he threw 227. And every year thereafter.
In the partial year, they had Lincecum in the minors in April, brought him up on May 6, and started him every game through Sept. 16th, at which point they were -17.5 games out. They'd of started him every game if they were in it, right?
Lincecum goes into the sock drawer that reads "nobody worried about his innings much," I'd say.
