He now has struck out 52 batters in 48.2 innings pitched, indicating that the former Cy Young winner might be finding his old form.

His average fastball velocity dropped precipitously, from 92.2 mph in 2011 to 90.3 last year, the effectiveness of his other pitches declined as a result, and in the first half of the season, he had only four quality starts, a 6.42 ERA and 1.58 WHIP in 18 games. Forced to adjust, Lincecum picked up the pace somewhat after the All-Star break, tallying nine quality starts, a 3.83 ERA and 1.34 WHIP in 15 games, and to his credit he adapted beautifully to a swingman role during the Giants' World Series championship run. Maybe all this means is that his new baseline is more like a 3.75 ERA, 1.30 WHIP, 8.50 K/9 pitcher than the 2.81/1.17/9.97 model of 2008-11. But isn't it at least possible that: (A) Some of his lost velocity returns with a winter's rest, and he inches closer to his past form; or (B) his stuff continues to decline and he suffers another unusable half-season? There are few pitchers with wider probability ranges than Lincecum's for 2013. How lucky do you feel?","seasonId":2013,"date":"Wed Feb 20"},"playerRater30DAY":3,"playerRater15DAY":1.9,"positionRank":61}

Giants have problems in starting rotation

The San Francisco Giants are built around their starting rotation. That would seem more a statement of fact than an assertion of opinion. After all, conventional wisdom tells us the rotation carried the Giants to a World Series title in 2010 and then another in 2012.

Lincecum Beats The Padres

From Elias: Tim Lincecum pitched 6 2/3 innings and earned the win in the Giants' 2-0 win over the Padres. The Giants' right-hander is now 11-5 lifetime with a 2.33 ERA and a .205 opponents' batting average against his San Diego cousins; that equals the most wins he has against any opponent (he's 11-7 vs. Colorado), and the ERA and opponents' average are the lowest against any of the seven teams that he has faced at least 10 times.

Five impulse moves that could work

General managers should be patient and measured. Over the course of 162 games, rash decisions don’t often portend success. A team’s slow start is worrisome, but making knee-jerk reactions can make things only worse.
