SAN FRANCISCO (Bleacher Report) -- When San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy announced his starting rotation for the first four games of the 2012 World Series against the Detroit Tigers, former Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum was not on the list.
The news certainly came as a surprise to many, especially considering Bumgarner's recent performances—an 11.25 ERA in two postseason starts.
