Cole Hamels received a three-year, $20.5 million deal from the Phillies last winter. Lincecum is expected to eclipse the deal, which set a record for the highest average annual value contract for a first-year arbitration eligible pitcher. RealGM Note: Lincecum was ranked 3rd overall in FIC during the 2008 season and is currently ranked 2nd this season, trailing just Albert Pujols. He 'deserves' to make Manny Ramirez's $23.85M contract and since he is actually making just $650k, his Reina Value is an extraordinary +3,570%. |
Tim Lincecum will be eligible for arbitration for the first time this winter.
