7 years agoJeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports that pitcher Tim Lincecum will be joining the bullpen for the Texas Rangers in 2018. What role he will occupy is still to be determined, according to general manager Jon Daniels, but the team has not ruled out using Lincecum in the late innings. The former Cy Young winner represents one of the more interesting gambles this season. If Lincecum regains some of the form that helped him lead the Giants to three World Series wins, he could be the latest of the Rangers successful reclamation projects. With no ideal candidates to close, Lincecum may just find his way to the ninth inning. While he should not be drafted in most leagues, keep an eye on him early in the season and see what happens in the Rangers bullpen.--Sean Scampton
