Myspace founder offers to pay Giants to re-sign Lincecum
Tim Lincecum still has some fans in San Francisco that would like to see him make a return to the Giants, and one of them is willing to offer some of his millions to make it happen.
Myspace founder - and everyone's first friend on the website - Tom Anderson wants to see "The Freak" stay in the Bay Area.

Lincecum, who plans to hold a showcase for clubs in the first two weeks of February, has lost some of the luster and effectiveness he once used to win back-to-back Cy Young awards. He made just 15 starts for the Giants last season, and posted a 4.13 ERA.
The 31-year-old required surgery last September to repair a torn labrum in his left hip.
