By WAR, Lincecum was significantly ahead of Wainwright and Carpenter. I think it was pretty clear that Lincecum was the most dominating pitcher in the NL and the most effective - his edge in K's, IP and xFIP more than make up for the edge Carpenter had in ERA. Wainwright's only edge on Lincecum was IP, and only by 7 2/3.

Good on the BBWA for getting over their past bias towards W's.
