Re: Hughes, Lincecum or Bailey
The fact Homer Bailey has zero command over his secondary pitches and relies on his fastball.
Bailey's had 1 good start, that's it. He's not going to sniff 7 K/9, and I'd be surprised if he had a 3:1 K:BB. The kid just isn't ready compared to the other two. That's what I'm basing that on. |

Lincecum's numbers are fine. His K/9 is high, and opponents are hitting .235 against him. He's having some control issues, but if you only give up 4 hits a game, who cares if you walk 5? Don't sell low on Lincecum right now, boys. He can only get better. Even if he gets hammered, he gets 5 or 6 strikeouts. In our league, that wipes out the earned runs allowed. I'd dump Bailey for the simple reason he's going to be up and down the whole year.

Re: Hughes, Lincecum or Bailey
I'm thinking Lincecum is on a bit of an upswing right now.
Struck out 12 in 7 innings with no walks or runs and only 3 hits allowed. Hope nobody dropped him.
