Tim Lincecum had to pay $513 in a fine today in county court in Vancouver, Washington for his citation for possession of a marijuana pipe. But he also exchanged arbitration numbers with the Giants: he wants $13 million. The Ginats offered $8 million.

My prediction is that Lincecum wins arbitration. Ryan Howard set the record with a $10 million arbitration victory after winning the NL MVP.  But Lincecum has won back-to-back Cy Youngs. Isn’t that even more impressive, for such a young player?

I wrote about Lincecum for SI.com today. Here is a link to that column. Howard and Lincecum have been linked before: the Giants played the Phillies the day of Lincecum’s debut and Lincecum was cruising until the third inning, when Howard hit a two-run bomb.
