There has been a lot of talk about the Giants looking to sign Tim Lincecum to a contract extension, but there haven't been any significant discussions. Lincecum's representative, Rick Thurman, said that there have been "no substantive talks" between the two sides on even a one-year deal that would prevent the sides from going to salary arbitration. When asked if he expected there will be talks about a long-term contract. Thurman said, "My only expectation is that we'll talk about a contract for 2012."
