Name the SF Giants who have won Cy Young with the Giants
Name the future or past SF Giants who won the Cy Young with another team.
Re: Your weekend trivia - 81alum - 08-11-2017
Isn't the Cy Young a pretty recent award? So Christy Matthewson would not have been eligible....?
Re: Your weekend trivia - BobK - 08-11-2017
Well Christy never pitched in SF and the award is older than you my friend. Lol. The question is for SF Giants
Re: Your weekend trivia - 82lsju - 08-11-2017

Re: Your weekend trivia - qwerty49 - 08-11-2017
Zito.
I'm going to guess Peavy...and Warren Spahn?
I can't recall any other washed up veterans they acquired.
Re: Your weekend trivia - Phogge - 08-11-2017
Mark Davis, Steve Stone.
Re: Your weekend trivia - Phogge - 08-11-2017
Randy Johnson. The other has to be a late season reliever for a pennant run. Mota, or the tall guy from the Wilson Alvarez trade whose name I can't remember or Bedrosian. If I have to choose I'd guess the Armenian.
Re: Your weekend trivia - Mick - 08-12-2017
Without looking and not repeating the names listed before, my guesses would include Orel Hershiser and Warren Spahn.
I don't think any of the relievers won the Cy Young (Bedrosian, Wilson, ), and I don't think Ron Bryant won the Cy Young when he won 24 games. I don't think Burkett, Schmidt or Swift won, or Reuschel or Krukow.

I was right about Hershiser and Spahn. Wrong about Bedrosian, he won the Cy Young award.
The SF Giant starters who did not win the Cy Young -- Ron Bryant, John Burkett, Mike Krukow, Bill Swift, Jason Schmidt and Rick Reuschel all have something in common vis-a-vis the Cy Young award. Every one of them had a higher winning percentage than the pitcher who won the award that year.
Result - Phogge - 08-12-2017
McCormick
Timmy
Perry
Carlton
Orel
Stone
Davis
Johnson
Peavy
Spahn
Bedrosian
Blue
Who got the only hit off Juan to spoil his first rookie game with the Giants. Note: complete game.
Re: Your weekend trivia - BobK - 08-12-2017
Davis and Stone certainly weren't washed up when traded.Â
I'll post shortly but all have been named. No not Orel.

Orel won the 1988 NL Cy Young Award. I was wrong on Bedrosian.
Davis definitely wasn't washed up. He had some grim years as a starter for the Giants earlier in his career, then they moved him to long relief. He left the Giants at age 26 for the Padres, went to the All Star game when he was 27 and 28, with 72 saves between those two years. He went south fast after that, with just 15 more saves, 20 starts and a 14-27 record in the next eight years.
Stone was 11-17 for the Giants his first two years of his career (though his second year was a vast improvement), but he really only had one great season, his Cy Young season when he went 25-7 in 1980 as a 32 year old. He went 4-7 the year after that, then retired. He sure got traded a lot -- five teams in 11 years. Stone was thoughtful and intelligent, Kent State grad, and his first manager, Charlie Fox was...not. Funny bit of trivia, Stone gave up Duane Kuiper's only home run.
