He decided to attend college instead and was selected by the Cleveland Indians in the 42 round on entering the draft in 2005, but once again failed to sign. In 2004, he was drafted tenth overall by the San Francisco Giants becoming the first player from the University of Washington to be taken in the first round.

ESPN.com's Buster Olney,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], about a week ago, was under the impression that Crisp could sign a one-year deal worth between USD3-USD4 million.
There's no indication whether the Padres is interested in Crisp for just one year or if they could possibly explore a two-year deal with the switch-hitting center fielder. Though agreeing to MLBTradeRumors, via Twitter, Crisp preferred a one-year deal with either the Padres or the Oakland A's.

MLB.com's Corey Brock reported early this morning that the Padres have had discussions with Crisp and his agent Steve Comte,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and that there was interest from both sides.

"We have been talking to them. Lincecum see a real fit there, possibly," Comte told Brock, also acknowledging that there is concerns from other teams on Crisp's two offseason surgeries.
"It's a view Lincecum certainly looked at. We've got a host of teams who have approached us with that kind of mind-set. Lincecum understand what happened last year with the surgeries on both shoulders. And Lincecum understand it will impact his value today."
The Royals,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], even after giving Crisp a USD500,000 buyout, is said to be interested in bringing the outfielder back. Other teams that have interest is reportedly the Chicago White Sox and Chicago Cubs. He earned his first major league victory in his next start on the road against the Colorado Rockies.

He was 97 mph with movement. You just don't see that every day. He pitched very much like the pitcher he is compared to and out dueled him throughout the night. The pair dueled to a no decision the first time,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and Lincecum pitched eight innings and got the win the second time. The Giants asked Lincecum not to throw the bullpen sessions typical of other pitchers during the off season. Manager Bruce Bochy told the San Francisco Chronicle that they were being careful with Lincecum because there have been studies that show that pitchers who throw 200 innings early in their career were more susceptible to injuries.
