I'd also take 3 World Series. Granted, Lincecum was only really instrumental in one of them.

But obviously, I'd like Tong to last longer than Lincecum did.

McLean is the real deal.

I will have to see more from Tong to annoint him as the second coming of anyone. He looked very green in his first start. His fastball did not befuddle major league hitters like it did in the minors (no surprise there), and his control was so-so. I think he still needs more development time in AAA. If I am wrong I will be thrilled.

His third start didn't go too well. Gave up 6 runs and didn't make it out of the first inning.
