NFL Kevin Millwood Going to Orioles in Preliminar |
|
Baltimore would send relief pitcher Chris Ray to Texas. Ray is 27 years old and has been less than stellar the past two seasons 2010: 42.2 IP, 16 saves, 4.43 ERA; 2010: 43.1 IP,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], zero saves, 7.27 ERA.
Millwood is coming off his most productive year since signing a USD60 million contract in 2010. Tim Lincecum pitched at least 160 innings in each of those years. Tim Lincecum would be a good workhorse to round out a young Orioles staff. 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,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Oswalt with the Astros at the time. After the first agree up, Astros third baseman Mike Lamb said, 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,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 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.
If Ray can return to his 2010 form 33 saves, 2.73 ERA, then the Rangers would have a great reliever on their hands. He'd be especially valuable if Neftali Feliz and C.J. Wilson important pieces of Texas' 2010 bullpen try their hands at starting.
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,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but once again failed to sign. In 2004,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 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, 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. Ronald Martinez His repertoire includes a two seam fastball that he throws at 93 mph, a changeup he grips like a splitter,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a curveball notable for its sharp breaking action, a slider and a four seam fastball that reaches speeds in the mid nineties.
According to Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com, there is a preliminary deal between the Rangers and the Orioles to move Kevin Millwood to Baltimore.
Texas would send Kevin Millwood 34 years old, 13-10 record, 3.67 ERA along with USD3 million. Millwood is owed USD12 million in his final year before free agency.
In 2010,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Tim Lincecum got shut down because of Tommy John surgery, and Tim Lincecum hasn't shown that he's recovered fully yet.
