The list of confirmed teams planning to send representatives also includes the Angels, Orioles, Twins, Giants, Dodgers, Yankees, Brewers, Padres, Tigers, Phillies, and Rangers. Lincecum will go through a throwing workout at the Driveline Baseball Research Lab in Kent, Washington in the hope of getting another shot at the major league level. He sat out the 2017 season after posting a 9.16 ERA and 2.37 WHIP in nine starts with the Angels in 2016.

I thought he was due!

[AngelsLakersFan]

Dude is SWOLL

[tomsred]

.....But he's in the BSOHL

[Dtwncbad]

No cost to take a look.  Must mean the Angels have an opinion that there is at least a chance that something is different now.

[Chuck]

It would suck ass if he's throwing mid 90's again, then signs with another team this time. 

[m0nkey]

Bring him back!

[totdprods]

Still think we'll sign or trade for another SP, even if it's just a ST invite, and they'll be seriously considered for the rotation.

He owes us?

Timmy had a good rapport with the Angels and was given great opportunity. There was never any hard feelings.

Also, he's reportedly back to 91-92 instead of the 87-89 we got.

Josh Johnson is only 34.  Maybe he could survive in a 7 man rotation?

Lets give another shot to the whole Fab Four

Why not an 8 man rotation?

If he’s throwing hard again why not.  He’ll be cheap af

[mtangelsfan]

I bet the ball is coming out of his hand really well.

Depends on who you ask

[Ohtaniland]

He should have no problem passing the “put on the uniform and smile for the camera” Angels physical.

A picture speaks a thousand words. There's only one pitcher in that picture that looks confident that he'll have a job in five years, and he does.

And ironically, he's the only one that didn't pitch for the Angels.

Jesus dude, stop being a bitch.  Somehow 6 turned into 7, I joked about 8, no different than you saying 7, and then somehow your feelings got hurt.

Total misunderstanding.  I was making a joke about an overreaction in another thread by someone else!  Damn message boards. . .

Seriously I was.parroting another poster barking at me in that exact fashion.  I thought it was obvious but I guess I played it poorly.

[Dtwncbad]

Effing message boards. . .we all have different experiences from our own computers.  In my world today what was super funny and I thought I would get a mess of thumbs up appreciating taking friction and making it humor.

My bad!
