Why is Lincecum "inactive"?

This may have been explained before, but I see that on Fresno's official site, Timmah is listed as "inactive"...

Does anyone know what the deal is?  Does this mean he's getting the call?

This Could Be It!
It sounds like he is about to be called up from that listing. Anyone else?
Keeping a close eye on the Giants AAA players

Re: This Could Be It!
I doubt it. That's an administrative device they have in AAA to allow teams to stash a couple of extra players on the roster. There's no minimum days limit to it so they could activate him tomorrow if they wanted. They often make SP inactive in between starts for a few days to facilitate other moves.

Yes, I saw this odd manuever a lot last season... I would guess it doesn't mean anything.

Re: This Could Be It!
Thanks to both of you - Roger and Pants Man - for the explanation!

Maybe they just mean he's lazy.
