Timmy lincecum, who picks him up?

**pavyracer** · 05-01-16, 07:55 PM

Braves can use him as a starter.

**imadegen** · 05-01-16, 07:58 PM

Braves are hurting bad right now.

**BuckyOne** · 05-01-16, 07:59 PM

Colorado- let him smoke!

**daneblazer** · 05-01-16, 08:04 PM

has any pitcher had a bigger fall from grace?

**LordVodka** · 05-01-16, 08:06 PM

He was so great. How did he go lose all that talent so fast?

**gauchojake** · 05-01-16, 08:13 PM

Angels could use him somewhere

He wants to win.

**packerd_00** · 05-01-16, 08:22 PM

Go to the Jays,he could be a big help.

**Deuce** · 05-01-16, 08:24 PM

Could help virtually any club. Just a matter of price point and contractual demand.

**jjgold** · 05-01-16, 08:26 PM

Is he hurt?

**lego3882** · 05-01-16, 08:48 PM

Pirates love fixing pitchers

Tims ego is to big to accept he isn't the hot shot he use to be.

**MUHerd37** · 05-01-16, 08:54 PM

Insane how far he has fallen.

i don't think you can call it a fall from grace, he's had some bad years since 2011 but he was still winning 10+ games and pitching to a mid 4 ERA. Obviously compared to his early years when his ERA was around 2.5 each year, but I'm sure there have been bigger falls from grace

Either way the Yankees have to get this guy, their rotation is some inconsistent aside from Tanaka.

**Chi_archie** · 05-01-16, 09:03 PM

I imagine that teams would only offer a minor league deal

not just gonna drop someone from their 40 man AND 25 man roster to take a chance on a guy just from watching him throw a bullpen session

**Terrapin Station** · 05-01-16, 09:34 PM

I'm guessing San Diego will pick him up.

**sweethook** · 05-01-16, 09:49 PM

what a flop

With the hair went the talent

**TheLangster** · 05-01-16, 10:25 PM

pitching takes a great toll on your joints and ligaments, with every single pitch you lose a little bit of performance

you just cant be as good in your fifth year as you were in your first etc

Not sure it's bigger but Dontrelle "D-train" Willis went from cy young candidate to persona non-grata practically overnight.

Steve Blass, Rick Ankiel, Mark Fidrych.

**JMobile** · 05-01-16, 11:45 PM

Padres will pay and pick up any big time name pitchers. Padres paid Mark Prior $1 Mill if he could pitch before the All-Star game. Prior ended up getting injured again.

This is so true. Every pitcher has been at the very top their first year in the MLB and declined from there on.

he does have 2 no hitters and 3 rings cut him a little slack

if youre being sarcastic my bad

**The Giant** · 05-02-16, 12:17 AM

The Giants have ruined him just like they ruined Zito.

Bumgarner will be retired before he's 30.

im usually against ruining guys but the risk/reward with madbum was well worth it for them even if he drops dead 2morrow imo

**hartgers** · 05-02-16, 12:29 AM

Any site holding the odds on which team signs him?

**xKMACKx** · 05-02-16, 01:07 AM

A lot of people predicted this years ago when he was in his prime because of how small he is. Didn't think his body would hold up.

**CWD** · 05-02-16, 01:48 AM

i thought his dad was real life rocket scientist that designed his delivery himself so it wouldnt take a toll like this ?

He designed a delivery to take the toll off his arm, but he forgot to consider the impact on his hips.

its a slow process obviously, and as pitchers gain experience it makes up for this wear and tear, but eventually it catches up with you. for some sooner than others

**Chi_archie** · 05-06-16, 07:40 PM

Tim Lincecum scouting report from scout in attendance: "He threw 41 pitches mostly 89/91 looked healthy profiles as middle or set - up reliever Value in the 1.5m range on 1-year deal for me"
