I have to agree with PG here...most MLB pitchers (especially starters) aren't pumping 95+ consistently. I would guess that average major league velocity range for starters is something like 88-92. Just a guess...now bullpen guys that can air it out for short bursts average more, but they aren't going to have the depth of stuff that Lincecum has either. There are many reasons for pitchers going to the bullpen...one of the biggies in my mind is lack of a third pitch.
