Morosi: Tim Lincecum can't be counted on

FOXSports.com's Jon Morosi wrote the San Francisco Giants are the class of the National League West, but because of Tim Lincecum's struggles, they need to add a starting pitcher

  • San Francisco can't count on Lincecum returning to form this year, as his 6.08 ERA is the second-worst mark among qualifying NL pitchers. 
  • The Giants need an insurance policy to complement Matt Cain, Ryan Vogelsong and Madison Bumgarner, who form one of the best starting trios in all of baseball. 
  • Morosi writes the Giants don't need one of the big three starting pitchers -- Cole Hamels, Zack Greinke and Matt Garza -- available, but mentions Milwaukee's Marco Estrada, the Padres' Clayton Richard or Seattle's Jason Vargas as making sense for San Francisco.
  • The Giants could also use a right-handed outfield bat, as the non-waiver trade deadline approaches.
