He's likely to start the season on the DL with a knee injury...however, he'll probably only miss a start or 2.
What do you guys see out of him this upcoming season?
He went 9-5 with a 3.67 ERA last season. He also went 5-2 with a 2.77 ERA at home...
Lefties and righties each have a BAA below .250 against him...
His K rate was excellent as well- 101 K's in 110.1 IP...
It seems this kid is the real deal.
Thoughts?

This guy is a stud.
I am proud to say I had him ranked #2 on my prospect list last year.

No...
I had Lincecum down farther (like, 10th). The point of the prospect list to guess who will have the best career. I am very concerned about Lincecum's long term health. He's a pretty small dude, and has something of a violent delivery. I'd guess he'll peak early, but will start to take a turn for the worst earlier than normal. Kind of like Roy Oswalt. He's only 29, and his ERA doesn't yet say it, but Oswalt is clearly declining (see the diminishing K/9). I'd say that's his upside...and ONLY if he improves his control/command.
If I remember correctly, my list was something like this...
1) Alex Gordon
2) Yovani Gallardo
3) Delmon Young
4) Phil Hughes
5) ugh...don't remember. Either Billy Butler or Homer Bailey.
