Dan, it definitely should take more than Melky and Betemit to get Lincecum, but Sabean’s a big wild card. Would the Yankees trade Cano for Lincecum? Cano’s a 4-win player. Is the high-risk, high-reward of Lincecum worth that? Very interesting.

I think it’d take more than melky and betemit to get Lincecum. They’re not gonna just give him away, he’s the future ace of the team. Not sure how familiar you are with the Yankees system, but they’d probably have to give Melky and possibly Horne, Austin Jackson, or another prospect. If the Giants want only a good hitter and no prospects, it would probably take Cano.

Thanks, Mock. It had been a couple weeks since I read your article. I added a note in my post.

A minor quibble…in that article I’m actually arguing that the pitchtracker strike zone is set much narrower than even the rulebook one. It wouldn’t have been so bad if it was just literally interpreting it, but instead it was terrrrible, to the tune of another 2-3 inches.

Of course, PC. I have a soft spot for hi-tech analyses of trivial ideas.
