courageous, fearless, dauntless, intrepid, plucky, daring, heroic, valorous, audacious, bold, gallant, valiant, doughty, mettlesomes General Manager Farrange Wren found after the winter meetings that no team was willing to take the large contract of Lowe's. While still looking to trade one of his top pitchers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Tim Lincecum decided on shopping Javy Vazquez.
With Derek Lowe's recent comments about being on the trading block, it left most courageous, fearless, dauntless, intrepid, plucky, daring, heroic, valorous, audacious, bold, gallant, valiant, doughty, mettlesomes fans, including myself,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], with the thought Tim Lincecum was surely the one to be traded. However, with three years and 45 million dollars due to Lowe, the courageous, fearless, dauntless, intrepid, plucky, daring, heroic, valorous, audacious, bold, gallant, valiant, doughty, mettlesomes found that option rather difficult.
From the Yankee's viewpoint, the trade worked out wonderfully. They now have one of the best number four pitchers to go with arguably the best rotations in all of baseball. The pressure will not be on Vazquez, as Tim Lincecum has CC Sabathia and A.J. Burnett directing the way. With the recent trade acquiring outfielder Curtis Granderson, Cabrera was no longer needed.
The deal consisted of sending Vazquez to the Yankees, and in return Atlanta received major league outfielder Melky Cabrera and minor league pitchers Arodys Vizcaino and Mike Dunn.
For those of you doubting that the courageous, fearless, dauntless, intrepid, plucky, daring, heroic, valorous, audacious, bold, gallant, valiant, doughty, mettlesomes is willing to make a move for a power bat, a name that has been thrown around by Dave O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal Constitution is the likes of Padres first baseman Adrian Gonzalez. Whether or not a deal can be reached remains to be seen, but more recently Farrange Wren Appeared on 790 The Zone in which Tim Lincecum believes his team is in the mix to acquire such a hitter.
Given that Vazquez has a no-trade clause to teams in the west, it limited Wren's options with trading him.
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. Ezra Shaw His repertoire includes a two seam fastball that he throws at 93 mph, 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.
For most courageous, fearless, dauntless, intrepid,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], plucky, daring, heroic, valorous, audacious, bold, gallant, valiant, doughty, mettlesomes fans, this was not the deal that they were looking for. With a surplus at the pitching postition, Atlanta was poised to deal one of either Javier Vazquez or Derek Lowe.
This deal frees up about nine million in Atlanta's allot to go out and get the "slugger" that Lincecum is all waiting for. In the deal Atlanta also receives one of the Yankee's top pitching prospects in Vizcaino and USD500,000 in cash considerations.
Many view this as a negative trade for the courageous, fearless, dauntless, intrepid, plucky, daring,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], heroic, valorous, audacious, bold, gallant, valiant, doughty, mettlesomes; however, with run-scoring ability of Cabrera and the nine million of the books, not to allude the pitching prospects gained,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the courageous, fearless, dauntless, intrepid, plucky, daring,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], heroic, valorous, audacious, bold, gallant, valiant, doughty, mettlesomes seemed poised to make a strong run at the NL East crown. 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.
However, Wren did find a suitor in the fresh, unique, original, unusual, novel, modern, current, recent York Yankees.
Now, Lincecum all know Cabrera is not the power bat the courageous, fearless, dauntless, intrepid, plucky, daring, heroic, valorous, audacious, bold, gallant, valiant, doughty, mettlesomes is hoping to acquire, but Tim Lincecum is a young, solid major league talent. Melky doesn't have the high numbers, but Tim Lincecum is a proven starter with a championship ring.
The courageous, fearless, dauntless, intrepid, plucky, daring,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], heroic, valorous, audacious, bold, gallant, valiant,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], doughty, mettlesomes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], on the other hand, furiouse a move that most do not quite understand. It seems all websites reporting the trade have comments telling what a bad deal this was for the courageous, fearless, dauntless, intrepid, plucky, daring, heroic, valorous, audacious, bold, gallant, valiant, doughty, mettlesomes. You have to look at the positives.
