best pitcher

Everyone seems to feel the same way about who is the best and I agree.  Given his massive number of strikeouts and reasonable number of BBs, it just seems like he simply denies other teams the opportunities to be on base more than anyone else.  To me it feels like the opposite of what we've heard about the primary focus for batters: just get on base.  For the pitcher it must be: just don't let anyone get on base.  It seems to me like Lincecum does this the best.
