Odds and Ends: Lincecum, Wakefield, Schilling

I think Tracy meant Noah Lowry. Not Tim Lincecum.

There is a another article about the availabilty of Caion and/or Lincecum. Stupid suggestion.

The only way Giants trade Lincecum is if a name like Pujols is involved!!

A "quality" bat is what you trade Lowry and a prospect for.

Lincecum for Crawford, Longoria and Brignac, nothing less!

Lincecum for Pujols, Duncan and Carpenter, nothing less!

"Either Ringolsby is misinformed, or Brian Sabean has lost it."

These are not mutually exclusive. Sabean has a long history of overpaying for mediocre veterans rather than go young, and as he continues to try and re-sign guys like Omar Vizquel and Pedro Feliz, it's not hard to see him dealing Lincecum for an average-to-slightly-above-average aging outfielder.

Papa..

Why you gotta go there??

lol

People think he is a dick in large part due to the Mitch Williams fiasco. Other things too, I can't cite anything in particular but something tells me he's said things that didn't need to be said at certain times. Oh, and he's a spotlight hog.

People think he is a dick because he is a dick.

"Do you expect us to know how to speak japanese?"

That's why I told you what it said bro!

Hindsight is 20/20. None of us would have objected to the Liriano deal at the time it was made.

hey Tim, you seemed concerned that the Cubs may pick up Steve Trachsels Option, but im at mlb.com and i see his name under filed for free agency.

im assuming this means his option was in fact Declined..

i would give up yunel, kj, and a top pitching prospect (with lilbridge and prado filling in in '08) to get lincecum as a braves fan... that guy will be a stud

there's no way that article can have any validity... lincecum for "a quality bat" is insane

People hate Schilling because of his politics and the fact that he speaks his mind. Stupid reasons to dislike a baseball player.

Obviously the Giants want to trade Lincecum for Duncan.

OK, in all seriousness, at least if Sabean "shops" Lincecum, the market will naturally shield him from doing something too retarded. Of course, it is Brian Sabean, so who knows.

Manny is probably not worth his contract, so why would he be worth his contract and five years of Lincecum?

any chance a jose tabata plus a lil something for lincecum works out. tabata is supposed to be great in a couple years. still dont know why they would wanna trade licecum for any real reason, but just a thought

Lincecum? No freakin' way. He's going to win more than 1 Cy Young, and the Giants are not ignorant to that fact. By far the most exciting young pitcher to watch in the majors. The Giants couldn't get his full value in a trade if they wanted to.

Yes, they couldnt, because he has only thrown 150 or so big league innings, and I hate to say it, but all signs (5"10, 170lb) to me atleast, point to some kind of injury and surgery some time down the road. I dont think the guys frame can support his delivery for years to come. I guess we'll see, but to me he looks like a shoulder injury waiting to happen.

Yeah, I know, it is more like a gut feeling I know there are cases of small guys that never got hurt, and I hope he doesnt, cause he is a stud, but I just see a shoulder surgery somewhere in his future.

There is a hard-core group of Mets fans calling for a Beltran/Lincecum swap, while using some of Beltrans money to pursue A-rod. Some of them even want to try to throw in Delgado to free up some cash and free up 1B for Wright. Move Milledge to center. It is an interesting idea. The giants could certainly use Beltran patrolling center, and he is a legit stud, not just a quality bat.

Man it is annoying having to sign out and in almost every single time I post.

Yep, same thing with KC and dotel.
