Hot stove baby!!!!
Hot stove baby!!!!
While we're at it, Pujols, Mauer, Felix Hernandez, Greinke, Halladay, and Utley too.
Don't forget Zobrist. Hanley can lead off for us. Ichiro hits 9th.

Hold on guys, he actually has a point if you really don't think about it whatsoever and change the name to John Lincecum.

I hate to say it but I don't see Lincecum lasting more than 2 years before he hurts himself very badly. His mechanics are much too violent for his size.

How about we also make a pitch for Willie Mays while we are at it. I mean we do need an outfielder.

Cant we then also get Willie Mays Hayes, and shucks, maybe sign Jake Taylor as our DH

lol...
I've heard that he has great mechanics.......The only thing is, I can not watch him pitch. I'd never seen highlights of Lincecum until I saw some clips on MLB last night and I had to turn it off - I felt like he was going to break his leg,. arm or other limb with that motion. I was just uncomfortable watching him.......but again, experts seem to think he's actually got great mechanics. Who knows? He needs a haircut, though - he looked like a girl when he was being interviewed.

What we should really do is exhume Walter Johnson and get a DNA sample. Then we can clone 2 or 3 of him and have an entire rotation of Walter Johnsons. Why not get the best?
Phil Hughes is... ???
I agree, he builds up a tremendous amount of torque which puts a lot of stress on a relatively small body. He's already started to have some back issues.

How about a few Ditkas while we're at it? No team could defeat a Yankee team with a bunch of Walter Johnsons in the rotation and an outfield full of Ditkas. They'd be wasting their time.

Hey, since were pondering the preposterously improbable,
could Cashman offer a boatload of prospects for another elite pitcher (JJ) who's best years are probably ahead of him?
We all know the Marlins are always looking to shed salaries from their monsterous payroll...
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4675752
This is yet another example of why I disagree that Cashman should give up the farm for Halladay. The free agent market is going to be flush with quality starting pitching in 2010-11.

He will cost a ton of prospects and dollars, and a little guy with that much pressure on his body, coming out of the NL West, is not worth it, IMO.
Agreed! I would rather just wait til 2011 when Felix is a FA.
cough......CC Felix Hughes Joba Burnett......cough
I agree with The Helmet.
Felix won't pitch for the pinstripes. He loathes us.
He does? Link?
Cash, make this happen while we are at it:
Starting Rotation
Halladay
CC
Lincecum
King Felix
Greinke
Bullpen
Carpenter
Mo
Lackey
Beckett
Santana
Verlander
Lester
Make it happen!

Maybe we can do some age-reversing voodoo on Koufax and Pedro as well. Put them back in their primes, we'd be unbeatable.
Oh, exhume and clone Ruth as well. We need some offense too, after all.

They said the same thing about Pedro.
In all fairness, Pedro did start having some major injury issues around 31-32.
If I had to predict, Lincecum might be similar - absurdly dominant until his early 30's, and then the injuries start to derail him.

I keep reading that too - that his mechanics are great. I've never actually seen a slo-mo sequence or freeze frame breakdown of his delivery, but I agree. He does appear to be one degree from being a train wreck. Most of it seems to be from the shoulders, neck and head - as though it's almost a whiplash effect catching up to the rest of his body. Maybe it does work for him - I just wouldn't feel comfortable signing him to a long-term deal.

Maybe I'm just a pessimist, but no to Lincecum. I would prefer Cashman wait until after 2010 to sign a free agent. Josh Johnson or any of the other major free agents. The team doesn't need a major piece; it just needs some small, useful pieces that support what is already in place.
Classic!
This post is the most absurd thing I have ever seen. It deserves all of the condescending replies.
that's a little overstated... basically, when he first signed with seattle as a minor league free agent, he made a comment about how he wouldn't have liked signing with the yankees because they're too straight laced for his tastes
but i'm sure after playing on some terrible teams and not coming close to the playoffs all these years, his tune has changed some
Try and package Jeter for Timmy Lin..... Giants probably won't go for it, but show clips of jeter diving in the stands against the sox and mention all of the intangibles.... they are non-monetary so try to pump up their value and get the deal done.... I think Jeter and Molina could get the job done
He definitely would have to get a haircut.....unless that's the source of his strength.

No, you got it all wrong. We'll get Lincecum in 8 years. We'll sign him to an 8 year deal worth $120 million more than he's worth. Get it right.
