I have had multiple offers for lincecum, not sure what exactly he is worth right now. I feel like almost anything is a good deal but I am not sure. For example I was offered Josh Reddick, good deal? I was also offered Molina, Darvish, and Castro for Jose Reyes, Paplebon, Salty and Lincecum. I felt I was getting the better Molina>Salty, Castro > Reyes (so far) and I have 3 good closers so I am not worried about giving up Paplebon. Does Lincecum throw the trade his way though?
I think it depends on the strength of your starting pitching. I think you should counter offer the guy for just a little more though. He's obviously trying to buy low on Lincecum so I think you could get a slightly better deal from him. You should at least try. I actually think that LInceum will turn things around in the second half of the season. He may not get back to the dominance that he's shown the past four seasons but he should be solid going forward.
I don't know if it's gut instinct or what, but I feel like it's just a matter of time with Lincicum. Your'e giving him the edge in the deal in my opinion.
Buy low... sell high. Trading Lincecum right now would be selling low. I think your best off holding on to him, and hoping he turns things around. Maybe if he has a good start or two, and it looks like he is turning things around... then you could get a trade worth doing. Of course the problem there is then you won't want to trade him...
