Is it bad that I want Lincecum to go to the Dodgers just for the fun of hearing Giants fans react?
jmgara
Yes. But I think his best days are in the past, so it won’t matter anyway. Juan Marichal pitched for the Dodgers, so it’s happened before.

Never understood why people wanted this. It took me a long time to like juan uribe. It kills me when i see guys like Brian Wilson wearing a prestige uniform like the Dodgers’.

I feel like Dodgers and Giants fans hate each other more than they like baseball sometimes.

Sal Maglie had been a very successful pitcher for the Giants in the early 50’s….but got old. “The Barber” went to the Dodgers in 1956 and at the age of 39, compiled a 13-5 record for Brooklyn and helped propel the “Bums into the WS, where he won game one, and was on the hill when Don Larsen threw his perfect game in a 2-0 NY victory. 🙂

Hard to see how he doesn’t go to the Angels.

Angels need him the most. Wouldn’t be surprised if he didn’t to the Angels. Also see him going to the Giants or Dodgers. All three teams will push for him and Giants might have the advantage because of the past and the fact they let him use their facility to rehab.
CursedRangers
I agree that the Angels make the most logical choice right now for both parties. The luxury tax might be the only thing that prevents the Angels from making him an aggressive enough offer.

I know it’s not the West Coast but the Twins have immediate openings.

White Sox Take Him For a 5th Starter and Let’s Make a Run

Look at the stats, Timmy has been worse than John Danks since 2013. You really want someone worse than the guy they just released?

Watched a little of the video. The stuff doesn’t look bad but a starter with that velocity is going to struggle his second and third times through the order. Teams rarely employ swingmen or multi-inning relievers anymore but that would seem to be where his future is. I don’t quite understand his pig-headedness about starting – I understand pride and starters make a lot more money, but Lincecum has already made 100 million dollars playing baseball. (I was surprised at that number too!)

Orioles should make a push for him anyone better than the 5 we have now in our rotation
jackiemays
If he rebounds decently, freak would be a fantastic fit at South Side.

And what if he doesnt?
chesteraarthur
Why do people think he’s going to be any good? He’s still sitting around 90mph on the fb, which is where he was at when he started to suck as opposed to the upper 90s he was at when he was a cy young winner. His stuff is still as diminished as when he began sucking so I’m not sure how people expect this dude to just all of a sudden be good again.

Tim may have slowed down since his glory days, but he’s throwin’ better than Weaver at this point. A change of pace in the AL and with LAA would make him a great fit, at the right time.
Lance
With injuries….teams start to get desperate and suddenly, the guy who didn’t look very appealing in March suddenly fills a need in May. That’s how baseball go.

I think the Orioles should pick him up we have the hitting to back him up
beachbob52
AL for Tim, and I can visualize a Halo over his head soon!

Given what’s been written up about his showcase, I don’t see how any team would be willing to offer him a starting pitching job right away, the ESPN article was pretty clear that he’s at best a reliever, and no better than what he’s been the past few years, from the view of the outside world.
And if the best he’s going to get is a relief job, then I don’t see how he don’t end up with the Giants, since they have been up front about how interested they are in him, and appear willing to offer him the long relief job, and intimated that should circumstances change, other roles as well, implying he could be a starter if needed as well. With Peavy and Cain scuffling right now, with no end in sight, he could be a starter sooner than later if he rejoined the Giants.
