[情報] Giants make record offer to Lincecum

[hunterqiji (hunter)]

SAN FRANCISCO -- Tim Lincecum's penchant for achieving unique feats on the
mound has extended into salary arbitration.

The Giants right-hander is seeking $21.5 million in salary arbitration, barely
 short of the record $22 million that Houston's Roger Clemens requested in 2005.

San Francisco countered with a $17 million offer Tuesday as teams exchanged
figures for one-year contract proposals. That's the largest arbitration offer
 by any club, eclipsing the New York Yankees' $14.25 million offer to Derek
Jeter in 2001.

Lincecum, 27, is the only pitcher in history to win Cy Young Awards in his
first two seasons. Following that accomplishment in 2008-09, he paced the
Giants to the 2010 World Series championship by finishing 4-1 in five
postseason starts.

Lincecum's first foray into arbitration resulted in a two-year, $23.2 million
deal that included a $13.1 million salary last year. He and the Giants forged
that deal minutes before a scheduled arbitration hearing, which the club again
 hopes to avoid.

"I'm overall optimistic that we'll find common ground without a hearing room,"
 Giants vice president of baseball operations Bobby Evans said. "But it's a
process that begins long before today, in terms of conversations about possible
deals that work for both sides. That process has continued in a mutual fashion
 but at this point we haven't reached a conclusion."
