Lincecum is expected to throw later this month in Arizona
The Giants believe Lincecum wants to remain a starter
The Giants have a set rotation and would see Lincecum as a bullpen piece
SAN FRANCISCO -- Free agent Tim Lincecum was a conspicuous if natural absence from Giants FanFest media day Friday, but that didn’t stop his name from coming up.
Vice president of baseball operations Brian Sabean said the Giants will have "people in attendance" when Lincecum holds a throwing showcase that is expected to occur later this month in Arizona. Lincecum, who is coming back from hip surgery, will throw for teams in an attempt to land a job after spending the last nine seasons with the Giants.
