Tim Lincecum...better ERA & more Ks than Webb...and on a far worse team.

thank you Eli for awarding Cliff on pitcher of the month, nobody else is having a better start than Cliff. He went on a 27 inning scoreless streak until he threw a pitch up in the zone for a 3 run homer last night. But he's saved our season so far.

You might want to take a look at what Josh Hamilton has done for the month down in Texas.

Furcal finished his April with the second-best batting average (.381) and on-base percentage (.462) in the majors, and he tied for the lead in runs (26) and doubles (12).

If you could possibly do an honorable mention...the Giants who everyone thought would be the wost team in baseball, are only in third place. And the only reason is because of good pitching and timely hitting. I think you should mention Tim Lincecum. And Fred Lewis. Both are the only reason the Giants are 13-15.
