Buehrle>Wood

Recommended Posts

This morning on Mully and Hanley, John Heyman said he expects the Lincecum signing to happen soon, possibly even today. He said he's hearing the White Sox and Angels have interest in letting him start while SF has only offered him a relief pitching role.

Ground breaking.

 

Can't be us signing him - it's not Wednesday.

Haha I'm pretty sure you just made that up but it sounds exactly like something Hahn would say.

Well done! I laughed.

His final line for the Salt Lake Bees: five innings, three hits, three runs, five strikeouts and three walks. Reports from the scene indicate that his fastball was sitting between 89 and 91 mph.

 

The plan is to bring Lincecum to the big leagues later this month, but for now, he's shaking off the rust in Triple-A.

That sounds like pretty much the exact same reason the Orioles gave up on Gonzalez...because there had been a decrease of at least a couple of MPH off his fastball.

 

(Obviously, Lincecum once was mid to upper 90's and Gonzalez didn't throw THAT hard...and there's his current claim that gaining an extra 2 MPH back from where he was before the hip problem will be just enough to allow him to be a 4.25-4.5ish ERA guy in the AL).

 

Do we know exactly how much LA is paying Lincecum? Because if you look at all the money invested in Turner/Latos/Gonzalez, it's probably still less than what the Angels are giving him.

Tim Lincecum is not a good MLB pitcher anymore.

 

After allowing one run in six innings for his first start, Lincecum has thrown 24 innings over six starts, allowing 50 hits, nine home runs, and 30 runs. That’s not a typo — more than two hits per inning and about a home run every other inning since his first start. Also, his average velocity in his last start was one of the lowest of his career.

Well, when the potential trade return for Miguel Gonzalez is the highlight of the trade deadline, there's not so much to celebrate.

 

It's also not like Fulmer is close to ready or worth celebrating.

 

Finally, if James Shields pitched in his first 3-4 starts like he has recently, the White Sox might still be in the wild card race.

Not I! Sox hated what they saw and Lincecum has been s***.

 

 

rabbit have any info that can give us hope we are going to sell. Cashner just netted a top 100 prospect and another very solid one in Castillo. Please tell me we are going to take advantage of this market!

No way. The Sox won one of those horrendous starts. The Sox might have an additional 2-3 wins, max. That doesn't get them into the race.
