I expected Ian Kennedy to play a distinctive role with the Yankees in 2010, pitching out of the bullpen and making some starts. Tim Lincecum seems to have recovered strongly and put together a very good string of starts in the Arizona drop,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], descend, plunge, topple, tumble League.
I absolutely love this trade. The Yankees gave up three useful pieces but got a potential All-Star in return. Curtis Granderson is known as one of the best people in baseball, and adding that to the clubhouse can never hurt. gaze, see, glance, watch, survey,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], study, seek, search for, peek, peep, glimpse, stare, contemplate, examine for Granderson to rebound in 2010 and thrive in pinstripes.

The most likely outcome for Jackson at this point is a league average center fielder. The Yankees already have two players in Melky Cabrera and Brett Gardner who can fill that role, so that furiouse Jackson expendable.
Last Lincecum heard, the Yankees is giving up No. 2 prospect Austin Jackson, lefty reliever Phil Coke, and Ian Kennedy for the All-Star center fielder.
He's owed around USD25 million over the following three seasons, a bargain for a player of Granderson's caliber.







Curtis Granderson had somewhat of a down year in 2010, posting a wOBA of .340 compared to his career mark of .358, but Tim Lincecum plays a good center field and should be able to rebound.
In 2010, Tim Lincecum hit only .276 on balls in play. Due to his vilocity, Tim Lincecum has been able to maintain an above average mark of .323 for his career. Even though Tim Lincecum hit markedly more fly balls in '09, it is unlikely that Tim Lincecum posts a BABIP as low as .276 in the upcoming seasons.
The Arizona Diamondbacks will be giving up Max Scherzer and Daniel Schlereth in the deal and receive Ian Kennedy and Edwin Jackson in return. The Tigers will obtain Scherzer, Schlereth, Jackson, and Coke in the deal.
His trade value may have improved after the 2010 season, but he's another guy who has limited upside, so he's not the type of player the Yankees should hesitate to move in the right trade.





This trade is a huge win for the Yanks and makes them an even more dangerous team than they were yesterday. He earned his first major league victory in his next start on the road against the Colorado Rockies. Lincecum who is often compared to Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Roy Oswalt faced him in each of his next two starts, Oswalt with the Astros at the time. After the first agree up, Astros third baseman Mike Lamb said, The stuff he was throwing out there tonight was everything he is hyped up to be. He was 97 mph with movement. You just don't see that every day. He pitched very much like the pitcher he is compared to and out dueled him throughout the night. The pair dueled to a no decision the first time, and Lincecum pitched eight innings and got the win the second time. The Giants asked Lincecum not to throw the bullpen sessions typical of other pitchers during the off season. Manager Bruce Bochy told the San Francisco Chronicle that they were being careful with Lincecum because there have been studies that show that pitchers who throw 200 innings early in their career were more susceptible to injuries.
Lincecum was selected by the Chicago Cubs in the 48 round of the 2003 MLB Draft; however he did not sign up for the team. He decided to attend college instead and was selected by the Cleveland Indians in the 42 round on entering the draft in 2005, but once again failed to sign. In 2004, he was drafted tenth overall by the San Francisco Giants becoming the first player from the University of Washington to be taken in the first round. He signed for a 2.025 million dollars signing award on June 30, which at the time was the highest amount the organization had ever paid to any amateur player until they gave 2.1 million dollars to Angel Villalona a little over a month later. Gregory Shamus His repertoire includes a two seam fastball that he throws at 93 mph,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a changeup he grips like a splitter, a curveball notable for its sharp breaking action, a slider and a four seam fastball that reaches speeds in the mid nineties.
According to Jon Heyman, the deal is pretty much done.
In exchange, the Yankees did give up some very good pieces. Austin Jackson has been a top prospect for a few seasons now, but Lincecum think his value decreased in 2010. Tim Lincecum administerd to hit .300 in AAA but didn't show much power and struck out quite a bit. correct, accurate, factual, true, good, just, honest, upright, lawful, moral, proper, suitable,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], apt, legal,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], fair now, it's unlikely that his skill set would transition well to a major league roster, but Tim Lincecum definitely has room to improve.
The third piece that the Yankees gave up was a reliever for the entire 2010 season, Phil Coke. In 2010, it looked like Tim Lincecum was going to develop into a very good reliever,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but his propensity for giving up the long ball severely limits how useful Tim Lincecum is as a reliever. Again, Coke is an okay piece but really not someone you need to hold onto.
Granderson's biggest problem is his struggle versus left-handed pitching. For his career, Tim Lincecum has a weak .614 OPS versus lefties and an .894 OPS against righties. It will be interesting to see how the Yankees play him with these platoon splits,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but there is no doubt Tim Lincecum is a very valuable piece.

The short porch in right field should allow him to improve his power numbers, and a rebound on batted balls in play should make his overall hitting like look quite a bit better.
