From the Merc:
Tim Lincecum has proven immune to the sophomore slump. Now we'll see how he handles the Sports Illustrated jinx. Lincecum is expected to be on the cover of the issue that comes out on Monday.UPDATE (11:06 AM): The article is up on SI's website. Verducci's piece is a great read on our budding superstar. One of many interesting snippets:
Since his May 2007 call-up Lincecum has been only slightly more challenged by major league hitters. In 40 starts through Sunday, he was 16-6 with a 3.30 ERA and 264 strikeouts in 256 innings. Only one starting pitcher in baseball history, Dwight Gooden of the New York Mets in the mid-'80s, has won 70% of his decisions over his first two seasons while logging more strikeouts than innings.Thanks to Admin for the heads-up.
