Lincecum is a tiny, unconventional guy. His body lasted 2-4 more years than most expected, but it appears to be breaking down now.
Morrow, Scherzer, Hochevar and Kennedy were very similar (though I don't remember Kennedy being in discussion for No. 1)
They should have just taken Evan Longoria and dealt with the rest, positions be damned.

No pitcher drafted #1 had ever been very good before David Price.
