Tim Lincecum nabbed his second Cy Young Award in two years. This is what Lieberman is reporting, as is The Splash.
The first pitcher ever to win the Cy Young in his first two seasons in the majors -- the fourth National League pitcher to win consecutive Cy Youngs, along with Sandy Koufax, Greg Maddux, and Giants colleague Randy Johnson -- FanIQ says, "He also has arbitration coming soon, and I have a feeling he's going to get paid. A LOT."
Lincecum comes in ahead of the St. Louis Cardinals Chris Carpenter and Adam Wainwright, who scored second and third place slots, respectively.

Update:Though Lincecum made a paltry $650,00 last season, Rich "Big Vinny" Lieberman, who talked to Lincecum's agent, reports that Timmy "could easily ask for over $15 million in arbitration from the Giants" after today's award announcement. Lincecum is eligible for arbitration in the 2010 season.
