IMO, Lincecum is among the most promising and fun to watch pitchers in the NL, and the Giants' lack of chance at legitimacy is the only reason he isn't a bigger story than he is. He will be making BIG BIG money when he is eligible, and will lead whatever rotation he's part of for the better chunk of his career. EDIT - Forgot the trade proposal part of the post, which is to get fully behind the Sori for Lincecum trade, straight up. Cubs should even throw in a decent amount of cash. They could trade Marquis for Lincecum straight up too, but not even Hendry is dumb enough to make that one.
