The Hot Stove is beginning to burn, and one log for the fire may be San Francisco Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum.
The Freaky Franchise really did have quite the bizarre campaign in 2012. His velocity was down, and his control was erratic.
Through it all, his consistency issues have him as possible trade bait headed into the 2012 offseason. It seems unthinkable, but the Giants could very well see their two-time Cy Young winner head to another team.
His issues may see him take a pay cut, but his past accomplishments may very well keep him in the Bay Area. Let’s debate both sides.
Join MLB Lead Writer Ian Casselberry and MLB Contributor Gabe Zaldivar as they dissect one of the bigger conundrums facing the World Series champs.
