Very little surprise here. Tim Lincecum is pretty much the myspace of starting pitchers. At their peaks they were probably the most rousing entities in their respective fields but have both since faded away into nothing more than a nostalgic existence. I totally get this move from a Giants POV. This scrawny, gangly looking dude with hair like Severus Snape and a delivery like something out of create-a-player in MVP 05' was appointment television every time he toed the rubber for about four years. From 08'-11' he was literally the best pitcher in baseball. He's been on board for all three World Series titles and whether he was a primary contributor or not those looking from afar like myself will always see him as the face of the franchise. I hope they keep him because without SanFran's unconditional love and support he may not make a major league team out of spring training. Just keep him on as a reliever, have him regrow his hair out, give him a few spot starts so he can throw his annual 8-walk no-hitter and go win another World Series.
