OAKLAND -- Veteran right-hander Tim Lincecum strode into the visitors clubhouse at the Coliseum on Friday afternoon donning a white backwards baseball cap and a smile, joining his new Angels teammates after spending the spring without a baseball home and enduring a lengthy rehab process from hip surgery.
It wasn't long before the former Giants star was wearing Angels red, which looked odd at first glance. But the righty acknowledged he's returning to a familiar role in a somewhat familiar place on Saturday when he makes his debut against the A's. As far as a new league and a new team?
