ESPN is reporting that Tim Lincecum reached a deal with the Texas Rangers:
Nicknamed “The Freak,” the 5-foot-11 Lincecum pitched at a scant 170 pounds with the Giants, but he appeared on social media this winter sporting a more muscular frame.
There’s not a lot of information about the deal yet, so take this report with a grain of salt. In 2015-2016, his fastball velocity was down to 88 MPH, well off the 93 MPH he hit regularly through 2011. The first thing I would look for in spring training is his fastball velocity. The second thing I would look for is to see if he developed a new pitch, or if he has developed a huge difference in speed between his fastball and his off-speed pitches.
