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.

Truer words gave never been spoken

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

THIS PHRASE IS ONLY ALLOWED TO BE USED TO DESCRIBE JEPPY!!!!

I don't care how good he looks. He also "looked good" last time he played for us and produced that amazing ~10 ERA.

That expressions on those faces remind me of the Iraqi National Soccer team when they returned from losing a match, and Uday gave them a "Welcome home, losers  - now, which fingers will you miss least?" speech.

Poor Tommy Hanson almost looks like someone told him how the rest of his life would go.

It still amazes me, the utter futility of this group;

Blanton: $15 million for 2 wins (14 losses)

Burnett: $9 million for 0 wins/0 saves

Hanson: $3.75 million for 4 wins

Madson: $3.5 million for 0 wins/0 saves/0 innings pitched. I can just picture Dean Wormer telling us the production we got from Madson:

Free agent Tim Lincecum held his throwing session for scouts Thursday, and sources told FanRag's Jon Heyman that he was throwing 90-93 mph.

He had 25-30 scouts watching him, Heyman reports. It'd be awesome to see Lincecum pull off a successful comeback, but most don't realize just how bad he was in his final four years in San Francisco; white he was OK in 2015 before getting hurt, it's the only time since 2011 that he's been anything close to average. There shouldn't be any expectations here.

Lincecum???

 

[Tank]

for those who may have been wondering, i have no plans to have lunch with lincecum.

[stevestevens]

If he doesn't get picked up by any team i would love to see us sign him so he could retire an Angel. 

He did a lot for our organization in his limited time here.

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.

With his motion and movement, 91-92 might do him okay.

Our old friend is heading to Texas, per Jon Heyman 

[Angelsfan1984]

Oh man if he did what he did in Anaheim, I wonder how far the home runs will go in Texas....

[JustATroutFan]

Just watch him pitch like he did from 2008-2011 with the Giants.

Based on what I saw last year...he's done. He may have strengthened himself and added a couple mph on his fastball but his ability to pitch and get people out is gone. He's basically weaver on the padres.

He hit 90-92 MPH in the game I watched him pitch up here for the Bees against the Tacoma Rainiers.

"The Rangers plan to utilize Lincecum out of the bullpen, where he could compete for a presently vacant closer’s role." - MLBTradeRumors

[Docwaukee]

He hit 92 when he was with the halos and 92 in his showcase before the halos signed him.  My guess is he was throwing as hard as he could during his recent showcase.

I hope we get to face him a few times before the Rangers release him.
