Two Cy Young's and led MLB in strikeouts in both 2008 and 2009.
As a kid, still in diapers.
He's but 31 now and one of the best loved Giants of all time.
Angels could use some pitching. If he performs he will be quickly accepted by the team and fans. Good luck!
I wish “the Freak” the best in restarting his career. I’m just glad he won’t be in the NL West anymore.
Why are the Giants moving him out?
Sad he did not end up in SEA. The city is San Fran North and would have likewise embraced his flakiness. And another good arm wouldn’t have hurt either!
They're the only player on the team that goes out each game and gives it all they've got at the threat of burning out their arm at an early age.
You've got to give credit to the old successful workhorses who stayed strong and healthy enough to pitch into their late 30's........
You pay a good man well, thank him for his GOOD service to the team...and then you let him go...for the betterment of...THE TEAM!
....you don't sign long-term $200M contracts to players(for their PAST performance), often past their prime...and then dumpster-dive through other teams garbage to try to fill holes in your line-up/pitching staff while depleting your farm-system of talent in the process.
Stupid management = bad baseball club.
...somebody better check on owner Mike Ilitch, he might be starting to eat his checkers.
...and then there's Brad Ausmus...(facepalm)
Jim Leyland "heh, miss me yet?"...uh, no.
Tim Lincecum hold broke the Giants 134 year record for 10+ strikeout games?
I doubt he's anywhere near 134 years old.
Great pitcher.
Am I the only one who wishes he’d get a haircut?
There’s a Youtube video that shows his mechanics (in his Cy Young days) in slow motion and explains how he generated his velocity. I think he used every muscle in his body to propel the ball. When something in the chain broke, his velocity disappeared. Hope he can come back and be effective again - was absolutely awesome in his prime.
