I don't see either happening. I think the Giants will bring back Wilson and there is no way Lincecum isn't in the rotation.

That won't happen. It'll have to take a god awful Lincecum to go back to the pen.

lol. I would rather have Lincecum starting than pitching from the bullpen. The way Postseason-Bochy used him in October was legit, but we can't have that long term, and definitely not for a whole season. Also I highly doubt he replicates this years numbers next season. If he does, he can find his way to the Astros.

Affeldt passed his physical I.E. no freak accidents since the WS!

**Leandres_sf** · 11-14-2012, 12:08 AM

No frozen patties or 60 lb 4 year-olds.

Now let's over spend on mike Adams to set up wit affeldt/romo if Wilson is back... Add some more power to the pen .. Keep kontos ... Repeat ..3 outta 4

**dodgersuck** · 11-14-2012, 01:14 PM

Do you guys think that this means Mijares is let go? Do we really need 3 lefties in the pen?

**sfgiants5518** · 11-14-2012, 05:08 PM

#SFGiants make Jeremy Affeldt's three-year deal official. Will be announced shortly.

Thats a total of 287 million..are we the dodgers ha ha

I still like lincecum pitching 3 innings out of pen every other day. The way he was used in ws/playoffs...I called for this 1 1/2 seasons ago. I really think he would make a bigger differnce this way,than as a starter, pitching every 5th or 6 th game.

**SFrush90** · 11-14-2012, 05:39 PM

Lincecum is a starter and will remain a starter until he proves he's no longer starter quality. One bad season and good Postseason in the bullpen isn't going to change that.

Yeah but Mijares wasn't used that much. Over the course of an entire year is he worth keeping on the roster. Do we really need two LOOGY's?

One bad season, and one bad month every season. Plus he seems to pitch better out of stretch. It comes down to a choice of him pitching 2-3 innings every other day, or 5-6 innings every 5th or 6th day.

**SFrush90** · 11-14-2012, 06:25 PM

Every pitcher is bound to have a bad string of starts which almost equates a full month. Just let the idea go dude. He's not going to be in the bullpen unless he majorly flames out as a starter again.

This. He will be starting no doubt, plus we'd be paying $22.5 mil for a reliever going with that horrible plan...that makes Brandon League's deal look like a bargain
