Lincoln jumped up the
charts with a big showing in the Cape Cod League in 2005,
then dominated throughout the 2006 collegiate season. He throws around 91-93, sometimes reaching
the mid-90s, and has a very good curve. His change
still needs work. Baseball America rated him as having the best command of any college
pitcher in the draft. As he's only 6'0", he'll probably face doubts about his
health and stamina, but he's consistently held his velocity late into games. Lincoln also played 1B and
led his team in RBIs. He's considered good enough that he might
have made it to the majors as a hitter. Lincoln signed two weeks
after the draft for a reported $2.75M bonus. He's expected to
report to one of the full-season, class A teams, although his workload may be limited
the first season due to his heavy workload in college.
