http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/15564685/tim-lincecum-agrees-deal-los-angeles-angelsTim Lincecum, who recently auditioned for teams to show he is healthy, has agreed to a deal with the Los Angeles Angels, a source told ESPN's Jim Bowden.
The deal is pending a physical.
Lincecum spent nine seasons with the San Francisco Giants, but he has not pitched in the majors since June. Yahoo! Sports reported that the Chicago White Sox and Giants were two of the last teams to not make the cut.
The Angels clearly need help in their rotation, but they shouldn't expect too much from Tim Lincecum, given his performance the past four seasons.
The Angels have the direst need for a starting pitcher. Ace Garrett Richards was recently lost to a torn ligament in his pitching elbow. He had a stem-cell injection in his elbow Monday, and there is no timetable for his return.
