If you're going to San Francisco . . .Giants GM Brian Sabean said in this space a few weeks back that he wouldn't be afraid to trade some of his young pitching for a hitter. It appears Sabean is after Marlins third baseman Miguel Cabrera and is willing to offer a package that could include prized righthander Tim Lincecum. The Giants are in obvious need of a draw with Barry Bonds gone. They are looking for a centerpiece in their lineup, and the feeling is, why not build around a 24-year-old budding superstar?
The Angels' signing of Torii Hunter followed weeks of negotiations with Florida about third baseman Miguel Cabrera. San Francisco now may be the team most aggressively pursuing Cabrera, but Giants GM Brian Sabean would have to swallow hard before agreeing to part with right-hander Tim Lincecum, who has been in every deal the Marlins have proposed.

Comment: The rumor continues...should Brian Sabean continue this path, he must sign Cabrera to a contract extension prior to a trade agreement. Pitchers of Lincecum's caliber and potential are extremely rare.
