I think he hovers around 3.90-4.30 this season.

I say if he gets off to a hot start to trade his ass for kings ransom... get some blue chippers in the process

Just my opinion, but I think Lincecum was out of shape last year. For him, that doesn't mean getting fat it means getting smaller. Unless he's worked out this offseason to build some muscle mass and strength in his core and legs I don't see anything being different from last year. And, if he hasn't done it yet it's too late.

Maybe, but he was also never sent to the pen. He had his worst year to boot. That tends to spark a fire in the ass, especially when a new contract/team could be looming. He cut his hair too...I would tend to think he is changing more than just his hair.

If ever a player should be motivated to have a great season its Timmy. If he has a very good year he will still demand big bucks in free agency. If he has another stinker like last year his value will decline about 15 million per year. Players can have 1 bad year but 2 in a row with a declining fastball would be a HUGE red flag for any team. He really is one of the more interesting stories of 2013.

I have a co-worker that goes for a stretch every year. He has a sister right there though so it's easy for him to take vacay and chill there. He loves it.

Wow, Brandon Belt posted the Dodgers need to stop being the Yankees. Buying a chemistry usually does not work at times.

I've been meaning to go. We have family in AZ, but it's just hard to get out there with work travel during this time.

Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal Source: Bourn with #Indians: Four years, $48M with $12M vesting option for fifth year if he reaches 550 plate appearances.

Great deal for them if true.

Definately wouldve rather had Bourn at 4/48 than Pagan at 4/40.

No question about that. Much better defender with more speed.
