April 30, 200718 yr QUOTE(IamPabloOzuna @ Apr 29, 2007 -> 10:35 PM) 46 Ks in 31 IP... And he's doing it in the PCL -- a hitter's league. His numbers, small sample size caveat, are simply awesome. I'm not sure that King Felix posted better numbers when he was down there. Edited April 30, 200718 yr by hitlesswonder
April 30, 200718 yr QUOTE(tealeafreaderii @ Apr 29, 2007 -> 11:19 PM) If Armondo gets himself hurt... there is a chance they might make him close. Yeah, thats what my brother said whos a big Giants fan, um dont ask lol. I keep hearing he gets the call in June. Right now Russ Ortiz isnt doing too hot but they are managing to win games he pitches in so we might not see Tim for a while.
April 30, 200718 yr Here's an obvious advantage of selecting high in the draft. Tim Linecum's just don't fall to #25.
April 30, 200718 yr Author QUOTE(SABR Sox @ Apr 29, 2007 -> 10:47 PM) As soon as Russ Ortiz does the annual Russ Oritz blowup. please tell me im not the only one who doesnt like this idea...the kid needs to start, hes fire...electric...absolutely unhittable

Either him or Jonathan Sanchez. The Giants are just stupid. The based everything of Spring Statistics and Ortiz had a pretty good spring. It won't be long until Lincecum is in the rotation.
April 30, 200718 yr QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Apr 29, 2007 -> 11:58 PM) Sarcasm? Wasn't Lin taken 10th. Indeed he was. You know Tizzle, though. He lives to take any kind of shot at the White Sox minor leagues, scouts, ect. You know it kills him inside that Freddy and B-Mac are flat awful right now.
April 30, 200718 yr Lincecum needs to get his pitch count down so that he doesn't hit 100+ before the 7th inning every time and have to be pulled.
April 30, 200718 yr QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Apr 30, 2007 -> 01:23 AM) I don't even think its a shot on the Sox. I just think it sounds flat out stupid to make a statement, almost implying the Sox did something wrong to be at 25. The Giants can have Tim Lincecum and the number 10 pick, I'll take my 90 wins and the number 25 pick. You might be right. I couldn't tell if he was being sarcastic or not. I thought he really thought he was taken at #25.
April 30, 200718 yr QUOTE(SABR Sox @ Apr 30, 2007 -> 12:22 AM) Lincecum should have started the season as the #5. Yeah, that's a realistic statement. Let's have a guy in his first full season, who hadn't yet pitched above A ball, start in the Majors. Hindsight is 20/20. As a sidenote, I remember he was a top 3 talent, but injury concerns (durability) and the fact that a lot of scouts projected him as a closer dropped him to 10.

The Giants can have Tim Lincecum and the number 10 pick, I'll take my 90 wins and the number 25 pick. Actually Lincecum was drafted in 2006 so if the Sox wanted to be anywhere near in the position to draft him, they would have to be one of the 10 worst teams in 2005. I'm calling out anyone who is willing to make that sacrifice for Lincecum. You are not a Sox fan, and you don't know jack s*** about baseball.

May 4, 200718 yr Per Rotoworld... Giants placed RHP Russ Ortiz on the 15-game disabled list, retroactive to May 2, with elbow neuritis in his right arm. Could it be Tim Lincecum time? There hasn't been any indication yet, but it'd be hard to pick anyone else to replace him in the rotation. If Lincecum comes up and pitches well, Ortiz shouldn't have a spot once he's ready to return. May. 3 - 7:32 pm et Looks like a callup is on the horizon...can't imagine the Giants not giving the kid the opportunity

May 4, 200718 yr Lincecum has an illegal delivery that will be called out in the majors, when that happens he'll lose 5 MPH on his fastball.

May 4, 200718 yr QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 4, 2007 -> 02:45 PM) How is his delivery "illegal"? he throws daggers at the hitters eyes before delivery...duh
May 4, 200718 yr QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ May 4, 2007 -> 02:45 PM) How is his delivery "illegal"? I googled it and came up with this link (includes video and frame-by-frame link as well): Lincecum's delivery The sticking point is that he has an extremely long step forward, which causes him to leave the rubber a little bit before the pitch is delivered. I personally don't really see the issue, every pitcher's back foot leaves the rubber roughly at the point of release, it's part of the mechanics of delivering the pitch. Also, I'm not sure exactly what rule that is breaking, strictly speaking the only ruling governing the rubber is that the pitcher must start his delivery from there.
