Let me refine that..at the very least,vacation him with a trainer and orders of dont come back until you’ve gained 20. If Lincecum feels insulted by the minors..at least working out while gaining lets him come right back when he’s at a proper weight.
What the Giants are doing now is running the battery until it goes completely dead..not a good strategy.

THE BIG QUESTION..What to do about Lincecum? I say tough love. You send him down,give him a personal manager who will make sure he eats right. Tell Lincecum,he can return from the minors after gaining 20 pounds.
I’m not sure how much more of watching a 98 pound weakling heaving the ball with every last bit of effort the Giants can watch at this point while making no demands of Lincecum. If he cant or wont change..then you make him. At least the Giants will know whether he will return to form or…he’s a lost cause here in SF.
I still feel he wants away from here…you connect the dots why..

Now that everybody agree’s with me-Lincecum looks like crap-and his pitching too. The hunched shoulders..and for a man who denies he has a weight problem,he sure likes to accentuate it with a baggy uniform. Or,is it he lost so much weight so fast,the Giants dont have a smaller size to use with his name?
It really looks like success with Tim has meant..good,now I can lose more weight..then failure forced him to eat to get back to success. This year? Its like he doesn’t care…just doing the fly banging his head on the screen door…until he drops and dies. The fly,that is. I hope Tim isn’t so dumb..

I am not going to say it is the end of Timmy, the worst pitcher in baseball but I will say that unless he takes care of himself, stop smoking Pot, might be the reason he can’t play in the heat and get in better physical shape.

This is what Barry Zito said after the Giants 2010 World Series victory:

“Zito also laughed off the notion that the team might have “lost” him by taking the ball away during the playoffs.

“I don’t see that at all,” he said. “I’ve never been a candy-ass. I consider myself blue collar, not white collar. It’s not what’s owed to me. This game gives you what you put into it. I’ll start over looking for better things.”"

That was pure class from Zito.

My reasons why they will:
I .Lincecum discovers Mexican food,and finds that nothing gains weight like Tamales and sourcream. He cant stop,and neither do the wins..
Bruce Bochy finally settles on the ultimate cool sunglasses “I can think better when I look cool” says Bruce. (he imagines he’s 24 again..shhhhhh-dont let him know I told ya.)
Pablo,discovers that to improve his hitting..playing wiffle ball at the park with little nephews works..no,wait..that was me.
And last but not least..the whole Giant team says “Hey man its only summer once a year,lets win this thing!”…

The division has turned very weak, even with Sabean bad free agents signing, Huff, Freddie Sanchez, Rowand who they still are paying for, he has made good trades in Melky and Pagan. Let’s hope these guys that are doing well , are offered contracts that are fair and not excessive.
