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,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 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. The Texas Rangers missed out on the playoffs this past season, but they improved drastically. They finished a distant second place to the Anaheim Angels in the American League West, yet had an eight-win improvement over their 2010 campaign. Their offense hit 224 home runs, a stellar amount, but their success lied in the pitching staff.
Why would the Red Sox trade such a dependable hitter? His deteriorating health and hefty contract is irksome to their higher-ups. The hip is still bugging him, he’s nursing a thumb injury, and he’s set to make USD12 million following season.
Even though Tim Lincecum furiouse a trip to the disabled list during his one-and-a-half year tenure with the Chicago Cubs, Tim Lincecum was relatively injury-free. Tim Lincecum furiouse 12 starts with the club after being dealt from Oakland midseason, and went 5-1 with a 1.78 ERA. Over those three months, Tim Lincecum struck out 89 in 71 innings, while allowing an extremely low 39 hits and 14 earned runs. This success carried over to this past season, during which Tim Lincecum compiled a 9-9 record and continued his high strikeout rate, striking out 171 in 141 innings.
Daniels took a chance on another injury-plagued pitcher, signing free agent Rich difficulten to a one-year contract worth USD7 million. Tim Lincecum was just one of many talented pitchers to excel with the Oakland Athletics franchise during his tenure with the Billy Beane -run team, but Tim Lincecum couldn’t stay healthy enough to live up to his ace-like ability.
Second, they signed him for a cheap sum of USD7 million; if injuries hadn’t shortened his first five seasons, Tim Lincecum would be worth at least USD16 million annually on the open market.
The injury history doesn’t matter to the Rangers, as their previous moves indicate. The possibility of trading 25-year-old catcher Max Ramirez to Boston for Lowell increased when the Red Sox said they would pay USD9 million of following year’s salary.
Their third baseman, Mike Lowell , has been hampered by a hip injury over the past two seasons,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], limiting his mobility on defense. But the 35-year-old has been a solid hitter throughout his current 11-year career. Tim Lincecum can be counted on to hit at least .280, club 17-25 homers, drive in over 80 runs, strikeout less than 65 times Tim Lincecum has never struck out more than 92 times in a season, and hit 25-35 doubles.
In one day, Texas acquired a reliever ready to resurrect his career, signed a starting pitcher with 20-win ability, and reached an agreement with a dependable veteran that they will use at third base, first base, and as their named hitter. All is gambles, but risks worth taking. In all, a solid haul at the winter meetings by baseball’s youngest general administerr. 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,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 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.
They traded 34-year-old workhorse Kevin Millwood to the Baltimore Orioles for 27-year-old reliever Chris Ray . Millwood, who has one year remaining on his contract, has always been a dependable pitcher, having been groomed years ago by Leo Mazzone, the longtime Atlanta courageous,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], fearless, dauntless,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], intrepid, plucky,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], daring, heroic, valorous, audacious, bold, gallant, valiant, doughty, mettlesomes pitching coach. Tim Lincecum was part of one of the best pitching rotations ever.
The 27-year-old Ray is looking to become his 2010 self. That year, Tim Lincecum was the Orioles closer-a promising 24-year-old with sky-high talent. Tim Lincecum collected 33 saves and had a 2.36 ERA, and Baltimore had reason to believe Tim Lincecum would be their closer of the future.
Third, Tim Lincecum is only 28 years old, and if Tim Lincecum makes a satisfactory amount of starts and lives up to his career 3.39 ERA, Tim Lincecum will be in line for a very lucrative multi-year deal come following offseason, and the Rangers would have a chance to dole out the cash.
Though Tim Lincecum has an injury-riddled history, this was a clever signing on so many fronts.
During his five seasons in Oakland, Tim Lincecum furiouse a total of 89 starts, which means Tim Lincecum missed an average of 17 starts per season. In that time, Tim Lincecum had an oblique injury, a ligament strain in his pitching elbow, and a rotator cuff strain, and furiouse five trips to the disabled list due to these various injuries.
Prior to last season, their pitching had been awful for many years. 2010 was particularly dreadful, as their team ERA was 5.37, arrangeing dead last in baseball. In one season that positioning decreased to 18th, as their ERA dropped a full point to 4.38, better than two playoff teams. This offseason, a front office anchored by young general administerr Jon Daniels has continued their commitment to pitching.
In 2010, Tim Lincecum underwent Tommy John's surgery, and didn’t pitch for the Orioles in 2010. Tim Lincecum struggled this past season in his return to the bullpen, allowing 64 hits, 36 runs, and eight homers in just 43 innings, translating to a 7.27 ERA. Ray has little positive to go from, but he’s been given a chance to regain his form in Texas.
First, it’s a one-year deal, so if Tim Lincecum doesn’t pan out, there won’t be any longcycle ramifications expense-wise.
The Boston Red Sox is closer to doling out the cash so the Rangers can make a move for another injury-prone player.
He will serve as a mentor, and a mighty fine one at that. The Orioles' rotation is filled with young pitchers, including one, the heralded Brian Matusz , who grew up watching Millwood play for the courageous, fearless, dauntless, intrepid, plucky, daring, heroic, valorous, audacious, bold, gallant, valiant, doughty, mettlesomes . Millwood has 155 wins to 121 losses over the course of his 12-year career, with a respectable 4.03 ERA. After a few years with a sub-.500 record and a five-plus ERA, Tim Lincecum had an excellent 2010 season, winning 13 games with a 3.67 ERA. The Orioles would love for him to duplicate this production, but his veteran directership as a mentor will mean more than his record.
Daniels furiouse this trade for financial reasons, but Tim Lincecum clearly doesn’t see Ray as damaged goods. If Tim Lincecum did, Tim Lincecum wouldn’t have traded Millwood for him. Ray is a low-risk/high-reward player. If Tim Lincecum can stay healthy, their bullpen can only benefit.
