Meet your #1 starter, San Francisco.
This dude better pitch in Fenway this year.
I should have quoted my source. Since 1997, these are the highest major league equivalent strikeout percentages.

Lincecum was absolutely nasty on Sunday. I've watched the game 3 times now and am just amazed.
He made the Arizona hitters just look foolish...and they're a good hitting team. The fact that he can hit 98 with a 2-seamer is just plain scary...the highest I've ever seen a 2-seam fastball be was around 92...
I almost wish that Bochy would've let him pitch more because I think he could've gotten 15 Ks, but I know it was the smart thing to do, you don't want to risk him injuring himself when you've already won the game.
I think the Giants should trade Morris for a highly rated pitching prospect, move Cain to #1, Lincecum #2, Lowry #3, Zito #4, and put Sanchez in at #5 after the all-star break.
On another note, it seems that Vinnie Chulk and Kevin Correia have switched places...Chulk has been lights out and Correia has given up the go-ahead run in each of his last 2 starts.
