Another former Padre, Randy Wolf,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], was reportedly bided a three year,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], USD31 million deal from the Milwaukee Brewers agreeing to Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal . There's been no word that Wolf has signed that deal, but there was interest in Wolf from both the Dodgers and the Mets but both have fallen off the radar. He earned his first major league victory in his next start on the road against the Colorado Rockies. Lincecum who is often compared to Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Roy Oswalt faced him in each of his next two starts, Oswalt with the Astros at the time. After the first agree up, Astros third baseman Mike Lamb said,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], The stuff he was throwing out there tonight was everything he is hyped up to be. He was 97 mph with movement. You just don't see that every day. He pitched very much like the pitcher he is compared to and out dueled him throughout the night. The pair dueled to a no decision the first time, and Lincecum pitched eight innings and got the win the second time. The Giants asked Lincecum not to throw the bullpen sessions typical of other pitchers during the off season. Manager Bruce Bochy told the San Francisco Chronicle that they were being careful with Lincecum because there have been studies that show that pitchers who throw 200 innings early in their career were more susceptible to injuries.
Now news comes out that the Padres is possibly talking to the San Francisco Giants about possibly sending third baseman Kevin Kouzmanoff to the Bay Area.
USA Today's Bob Nightengale,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], via Twitter ,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], tells the Padres and Giants have had discussions about the third baseman,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but that San Diego wants more than outfielder Fred Lews and infielder Kevin Frandsen in return.
There had been news that the Padres were possibly looking to deal Heath Bell , but there has been no further developments since it came out.
La Velle E. Neal III of the Minneapolis Star Tribune tells the Padres wanted to talk to the Minnesota Twins about a possible deal involving Kouzmanoff. Neal tells the Padres might be interested in Glen Perkins, who could be available now that pitcher Carl Pavano has decided to accept arbitration from the Twins.
Former Padres' outfielder Brian Giles,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], agreeing to WEEI's Alex Speier , has gotten interest from five or six different teams, but the Red Sox were not among those. Not surprising seeing as Giles vetoed a trade to Boston a few years ago.
Lincecum was selected by the Chicago Cubs in the 48 round of the 2003 MLB Draft; however he did not sign up for the team. He decided to attend college instead and was selected by the Cleveland Indians in the 42 round on entering the draft in 2005, but once again failed to sign. In 2004, he was drafted tenth overall by the San Francisco Giants becoming the first player from the University of Washington to be taken in the first round. He signed for a 2.025 million dollars signing award on June 30,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which at the time was the highest amount the organization had ever paid to any amateur player until they gave 2.1 million dollars to Angel Villalona a little over a month later. Christian Petersen His repertoire includes a two seam fastball that he throws at 93 mph,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a changeup he grips like a splitter, a curveball notable for its sharp breaking action,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a slider and a four seam fastball that reaches speeds in the mid nineties.
The morning of day two of baseball's winter meetings has been quiet for the San Diego Padres.
