Four with Score; and Going for the Division

The Question on every Giants fans mind right now is who will pitch the final game of the Houston series.  While many are speculating that it will be Joe Martinez, there is another idea that needs to be explored!

What about Tim Lincecum?

Why not go two weeks with a four man rotation?  The Giants have days off on both Thursdays in the next two weeks requiring Lincecum to throw on three days rest on Wednesday, and Zito to do the same August 11th.

The best part of the four man rotation would be the Giants pitching staff against the Dodgers.  Lincecum, Zito, and Cain; and wouldn’t require Martinez to make the jump to the Big League level until August 18th when the Giants are in Cincinnati (P.S. Martinez is a groundball pitcher and we need a guy like that in the sandbox that is Great American Ballpark).

This would also allow Sabean a couple of weeks to scavenge the waiver wire in hopes of making a trade for a legitimate fifth starter.
