Re: Question regarding Zito's Contract
There's no way Sabean allows Cain to go to arbitration before he inks him to a "longterm" (i.e, 3 or 4 years) contract, like he did with Lowry. We still control Cain's rights for, what, another 4 or so years at the league minimum, about $380K/yr. In the next year or two, I see Sabean (or whoever is GM-ing your Giants) locking him up with a $20 - $30 million deal. Brute or any CBA-heads, feel free to bash me if my facts are wrong. Or, feel free to bash me if my non-facts are crapstastic.
Regarding Lincecum, although I've seen him throw live at an SJ playoff game - he can flat-out fackin' deal - I agree w/ Irish. Let's see what he can do in Teh Show before we starting writing eight figure checks.

Re: Question regarding Zito's Contract
An interesting factoid I heard brought up was when it was mentioned that in two years when Johan Santana is a free agent his contract will make Zito's look like a good deal. Not that I think Zito is better than Johan, I am just saying maybe it was smart to get him locked up before Johan sets the bar even higher.
I am just curious to see what happens next offseason when Ichiro is a free agent, he will get a huge deal.
