Tuesday update: Lincecum, Gardenhire, Neshek
Posted on November 11th, 2008 – 1:26 PMBy Joe Christensen
(*) Giants RHP Tim Lincecum won the NL Cy Young Award, with the Diamondbacks’ Brandon Webb finishing second in the voting.
The AL Cy Young Award winner will be named Thursday.
(*) On Wednesday, the AL and NL managers of the year are announced. Twins skipper Ron Gardenhire likely will finish second in the AL voting behind Tampa Bay’s Joe Maddon.
The Twins recently agreed to a two-year extension with Gardenhire, which will keep him under contract through 2011, though the team is waiting to announce the deal until they finish agreement with the coaching staff. All of the coaches are expected to get two-year deals.
(*) Pat Neshek is seeing Twins physician Dr. Dan Buss today, and undergoing another MRI exam on his right elbow. Will post an update here as soon as I get one.

The SethSpeaks website is saying Neshek is gone for 2009 and having Tommy John surgery.
Why the hell did’nt the Twins have him go under the knife last year when this all started? Just ridiculous!
Why the hell didn’t the Twins have him go under the knife last year? Just ridiculous!
JDW, if the Seth Speaks blog is correct, he tore a different ligament which basically means it wouldn’t have mattered.
I think it’s just that funky delivery that led Neshek to multiple arm injuries.
I agree his funky delivery is probably a cause, however he went to that funky delivery because of a issue with his arm (not related to pitching). Let’s hope he can come back and contribute at some point.
We still need an 8th inning guy. Does anyone think the Twins are one of the teams making a run at Huston Street now that the Rox are apparently shopping him?
It would make sense being that the Rockies have Atkins and Street…I don’t think anybody would be too surprised if they work out a deal of some sort. We shall see…
I’m surprised Brandon Webb came in second- was expecting either Santana or Sabathia to challenge for the Cy Young, depending on how the voters viewed CC’s tremendous second-half performance.
whats to worry, when has Seth ever been correct.
