Going, going, gone?

What the hell has happened to that Tim Lincecum guy we used to adore?

For five seasons, he was money in the bank. Maybe having to stick around Barry Zito has rubbed off, except that Zito has managed to stop embarrassing himself.

Wby would I bring up Zito, other than to mention the inability to live up to an insane contract? Tim's contract of two years for $40 million seems very reasonable, given the stellar level of performance since 2007. But that guy has vanished. Instead, here we have this guy who looks great for awhile and then gets hammered.

Julian Levine at Giants Nirvana has a solid post that notes Tim has ONE quality start this year in 9 starts, The situation is a "very serious concern." I concur
