If Timmy is over 90mph with control again, there'll be a line of team trying to sign him.

He was once as dominant as any pitcher in the league.

And I hope one of those teams is the Giants.

He’s inexpensive and low risk and he has a history of MLB success. He’s worth a gamble for the back of a rotation.

162 man-proving games, with the survivors getting a trophy and a parade at the end.

A pitcher’s arm, like a car tire, only has a certain amount of miles in it. If Lincecum wins, respect to him.

If his fastball is indeed in the 90s and is developing other stuff as well, I’d like to see him back in a Giants uniform in a short relief role, possibly.

That's a very big "if". Lincecum is 33, not a big guy physically, and that arm has seen a lot of use. He may be able to throw it 90 mph with decent control in a workout, but the odds of his arm being able to carry that into June, let alone September, seem pretty remote.

I hope I'm wrong - Tim gave Bay Area baseball fans a lot of quality pitches to watch over the years and he'll always have my appreciation as a fan.

Well if he’s asking for more than the Seattle Minimum Wage it won’t be the Pirates who sign him.
