If Tim Lincecum was in the AL, how do you think he'd perform?

Probably 2.80 - 3.20 ERA, 40 fewer strikeouts per year, and if he was on either Blue Jays, Red Sox, Yankees, Rays, or Angels, he would be a 20 Game Winner with all the offense he would get

It depends which team he played for (since the stadiums are different, and because if he had a better lineup behind him he'd have more wins).

But you should figure that he'd have about .5 more runs on his ERA and about 20 fewer strikeouts per year. If he were on a dominant hitting team like the Angels, Red Sox or Yankees, he'd be a 20 game winner. If he were a Royal or an A, he'd be another Zach Grienke.

Either way, he'd be a dominant pitcher and among the contenders for Cy Young every year.

Depends a bit on which division and park - he'd still be a dominant pitcher but all his numbers would increase (WHIP, ERA, etc.) based on the DH and the general level of talent in the AL.

Probably not back-to-back Cy Youngs in the AL, but he would be still be one of the best in baseball in the AL. Lnicecum is a phenom. Yes, AL hitting is better with the DH and more $$$ but it is not THAT superior to the NL.

I don't know if he'd have won the last two Cy Youngs, but he'd certainly be considered one of the best up & coming pitchers. He'd still be an ace on many teams and on an AL Elite team he'd be considered someone like John Lester, only with more experience.

It matters if he was on a good team that can score runs, because like if he was on the worst AL team he would do good but the team probably can't score as many runs. Then Tim would get tired and start giving up runs to a bad defense. If he was on the Yankees which is a unique team, they can catch and have a good arm. Then when they are on offence they can score some runs and Tim would keep the opponent silent.

He would definitely not have as many strikeouts and a tad-bit higher ERA but he would perform about the same because he's an amazing pitcher and no matter where he is he will be really good.

He would still be a great pitcher no matter where he pitched but in the AL East, he would be taken down a peg or two.

Magnificently. He'd be a dominant pitcher in either league.

HE WOULD WIN 21
