MLB Rumors: Five teams that should sign Tim Lincecum

After an impressive showcase with most of the MLB watching, here are five teams that should sign Tim Lincecum.

20 MLB teams lined up to watch a free agent pitcher who hasn’t had an ERA of below 4.00 since 2011 pitch in a showcase. Usually, that sounds nuts. However, that free agent pitcher was none other than two-time NL Cy Young Award winner and three-time World Series Champion Tim Lincecum. While Lincecum might not be the same pitcher who won two Cy Young awards, his talent is still quite visible.

After recovering from a serious hip surgery in the offseason, Lincecum has done the best that he can to prove that he is healthy. Teams are always looking for a healthy arm, especially one that is as experienced as Lincecum’s. His experience as both a relief pitcher and a starting pitcher is likely quite alluring to teams as well.

Tim Lincecum can still help a number of MLB teams. He’s a proven winner and he has adapted quite well to his huge drop in velocity. Lincecum might be a bottom of the rotation or long reliever at this point, but he can still show flashes of the old Timmy that used to haunt the National League from time to time.

Here are five teams that should sign the three-time champ.
