Vogelsong will be stretched out as a precaution in case Tim Lincecum (back) isn't ready to begin the season, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports. Vogelsong's spot in the rotation is tentative, and Yusmeiro Petit will also be stretched out. The news doesn't add much fantasy value, but if Lincecum's injury ends up costing him extended time, it could.
