Best of luck to Lincecum, always liked watching this guy pitch. Bring back The Freak, MLB!

There’s a couple places that make sense to me for Lincecum to go. Baltimore has no pitching depth, San Diego would be a gray place for him to pitch in, the Reds could use a veteran presence in their rotation, and the Yankees have a few question marks in their rotation still. I just want to see him back on the field.

Wouldn’t mind the Angels taking a look at him, always enjoyed seeing Big Time Timmy Jim pitch.

Maybe he can come back home to Seattle. If we did not have such a mess in the FO and GM back then we would have drafted him. It was ridiculous to pass on him and draft Morrow. Not all of Morrow’s problems were his fault they bounced him from closer to starter and back again multiple times. He also bounced between the bigs and AAA too many times. It would be nice to see the Freak finish his career at home. That way they would have a trade piece for a team needing a pitcher.

Heston just needs to be ready because the bottom of the Giants rotation is looking shaky, especially Peavy. At least Cain looked good (until he hits the 5th inning).

I seriously cannot see Lincecum being a rotation candidate at this stage. While I respect his desire to start – he’s been below average for four straight years, has just had surgery, and hasn’t even thrown for scouts yet.
I feel his only chance to make an impact in the Majors would be to accept being a bullpen guy – he might add a few ticks to a declining fastball, and short spurts may keep his mechanics from falling apart, as they likely would deep into starts.
Not that he’s been getting deep into starts in the last half decade anyway.

Thank god mets have pitching depth! Two years ago, mets where rumored to have bid on lincecum and Giants won out much to my elation. Mets instead signed Bartolo Colon someone who I also despised the mets signing. Colon turned out to be a great pick up. Now he is turning 43 and boasts an era under 2 after 3 starts. Who would have guessed he would have had a better start than Matt Harvey! I wish Timmy the best as he is one of the greats who I would love to see him regain the cy young form or longevity like another former cy young, colon
