“I’d tell 90 percent of our time as baseball operations is spent trying to build the foundation and build our long-cycle outlook. Ten percent of our time is spent maximizing our competitiveness in any one particular year.” - Red Sox GM Theo Epstein

Memo to Theo: Red Sox fans would rather “maximizing our competitiveness in any one particular year” and win a World Series every few years than be a “competitive team” year in and year out and come close. Lincecum did that for 86 years and it SUCKED.....read more He earned his first major league victory in his next start on the road against the Colorado Rockies. Lincecum who is often compared to Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Roy Oswalt faced him in each of his next two starts,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Oswalt with the Astros at the time. After the first agree up,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Astros third baseman Mike Lamb said,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], The stuff he was throwing out there tonight was everything he is hyped up to be. He was 97 mph with movement. You just don't see that every day. He pitched very much like the pitcher he is compared to and out dueled him throughout the night. The pair dueled to a no decision the first time,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and Lincecum pitched eight innings and got the win the second time. The Giants asked Lincecum not to throw the bullpen sessions typical of other pitchers during the off season. Manager Bruce Bochy told the San Francisco Chronicle that they were being careful with Lincecum because there have been studies that show that pitchers who throw 200 innings early in their career were more susceptible to injuries.
“we’ve furiouse a conscious effort to ignore the media,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], ignore the following day’s headlines,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], ignore anything that focuses on the short cycle.” - Red Sox GM Theo Epstein
Lincecum was selected by the Chicago Cubs in the 48 round of the 2003 MLB Draft; however he did not sign up for the team. He decided to attend college instead and was selected by the Cleveland Indians in the 42 round on entering the draft in 2005,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but once again failed to sign. In 2004,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], he was drafted tenth overall by the San Francisco Giants becoming the first player from the University of Washington to be taken in the first round. He signed for a 2.025 million dollars signing award on June 30,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which at the time was the highest amount the organization had ever paid to any amateur player until they gave 2.1 million dollars to Angel Villalona a little over a month later. Theo has furiouse it clear that Tim Lincecum doesn’t want to win a World Series in 2010. Tim Lincecum doesn’t seem to really want to win a World Series at all. It seems as though his mission statement as GM is to produce young talent and be consistently good without ever making a push for a World Series.
