how would that have helped their rotation? They'd be in the same situation...one good young guy, and a bunch of holes.

Ive changed my outlook. Since I have No. 1 pick in my fantasy draft, I want Pujols to be a bigger beast than he was last year. I hope that hes fully healed and puts up big numbers

Lince over Kershaw?
hell no f that

kersh is only 20!
He went into the rotation in his second year out of high school. Lince played college ball for a few years
and he's a lefty

oh and we got a new name for you to watch PM7. 6'5 240 of pure man
Joshua Lindblom. He just got called up on thursday after only 34 innings of major league experience
Torre loves him and he could be our #5. dude's a beast. I saw him on friday, wow

No pitcher drafted ahead of Lincecum has even come close to LinCy's 2 year career...and thats all those pitchers combined btw.

Ok, I'll remember that name. But I've got a name for you also

I'll tell you one thing I miss about baseball after months of NHL, NBA, NFL, and so on.

I'm tired of those many off nights where my teams aren't playing. I miss how baseball there is basically a game every day.

Lindblom was sick though.
It sounds like Torre is in love. He threw inside twice to Olivo and then he stared down Lindblom.
then the next pitch he went straight down the middle and struck him out looking.
oh man i cant wait to see what this kid could do this season

I love Kershaw, but you can't say you'd rather have him over the young Cy Young.

I understand the proven talent over potential talent argument, and I would love Lince on my team if we drafted him over kershaw, but man kershaw is special. we're looking at a future ace for years to come

We will never know how far they would have gone last year if Timmy was in their rotation...

Kershaw may be a potential ace but Lincecum is already an ace.

Kershaw's curveball is an 11-to-6 knee buckler with substantial bite. The pitch is usually in the mid-70s. Like the fastball, he can do a better job commanding the pitch. Also worth pointing out is Kershaw's ability to get hitters gearing up for something hard when he throws his curveball because the intent he throws with and the mechanics he displays are the same whether throwing a fastball at 95 mph or a curveball at 75 mph.

He is filthy.....
