Tim Lincecum to the Anaheim Angels of Los Angeles California

[HammerDown]

They got swept at home to the shittiest team in the division. Their questionable closer got blown up twice in a row and they gave Felix a total of 2 hits in the finale and that doesn't mean squat?

And their four-hole hitter went 2-for-19 and about a dozen GIDP.

Kind of like Matt Cain?

Considering that Cain was throwing in the low-90's upon coming back from shoulder surgery last season, no, not really.

Low 90's doesn't seem to be helping him much.

 

[dredinis21]

Low 90's doesn't seem to be helping him much.

But it gives him a fighting chance and that's exactly what we have seen this season. The last two starts exemplify that. But if Timmy is throwing 84, he's got NO chance. Jamie Moyer he is not. Timmy was never great at locating, he just had plus stuff that carried him. If he ain't locating AND he ain't throwing in the 90's, he ain't effective.

 

[tducey]

Good for him, let's see if he can reclaim some of his old glory.

Don't worry about it, they will be just fine....

I thought he was throwing 88 his last couple years??

Yeah, and so will Jake Peavy at "only" $7,000,000 this season.

I believe Jake is getting $15MM this season....

According to Hammer, that's "ONLY $15MM". Get it right.

 

[HammerDown]

Baseball Almanac said 7, but hell, 15 is muuuuuch better!

And the "only" is douchebag (redundant word) Giants fans, always justifying everything, including Zeets' albatross.

 

[calsnowskier]

He made $7M in '15. He is making $13M in '16, but it counts as $15M against the lux tax because he got a $4M signing bonus.

Hey don't drag the M's four hitter into your Peavy bash, its not my fault they over paid for Peavy....

I was dragging Pujols into this, thank you very much!

Well to give him a little credit (Pujols) he did tee off on a shit pitch Saturday night to help his team....

Last year, it dropped to as low as 81-82 before the Giants shut him down. But he has been under 90 for most of the last couple years for sure.

The hip MAY help with this, though. But he still is not a pin-point pitcher. So he will need not only a 91+ FB, but the nasty CB and CU to go along with it for him to be ever a passable #3. When he was throwing 95-97, he was the best going because he had the nasty CU and CB to just eat up the batters. Watching batters swing at his pitches that bounced 3 feet in front of the plate was a beautiful thing.

It would be super awesome if you could change that giants cap to an angels cap, when you have a chance.

Thanks, Dood.

It was kind of tragic the way Zito's shitty contract prevented them from winning any championships.
