I wouldnt give out 200 million to a pitcher like Lincecum because he will break down but they have been saying that about him since he was drafted. And it doesnt matter what either one of us think, when he hits free agency and the Red Sox and Yankees see a true ace hit the free agency plus the Dodgers with an opportunity to slap their enemy I think the price tag will be a new record for a pitcher.
If I were the GM of the Giants I would have signed Cain to the big deal like he just got and let lincecum walk when hes deal is up.
Thats probably what they are going to end up doing.
Cain will be pitching better baseball 5 years from now then Tim will.
You dont give contracts for past performance. You give them out for future performance.
No doubt in my mind Cain will have more career wins from this day forward then lincecum

So you say that Cain will have more wins than Lincecum in the next 5 years but then you say that win/loss category is overrated. In that case wouldnt it make more sense to say that Cain will be the better pitcher in the next 5 years to matter what their win/loss record show. Im only saying it because if Lincecum goes to a big power house club in the AL east he wont have to be near as good as Cain to win twice as many games because he will have a great offense every time he pitches.
