Zambrano to the Fish
As long as he keeps serving up long balls and doesn't throw at Chipper again I'm ok with it.

The dugout will be safe for Gatorade machines. We can have nice things again!

Re: Zambrano to the Fish
No shock here. Tough to pick up 15 of his 18 million but the Cubs can move on. I liked Z, but he really wore out his welcome.
"For the great enemy of truth is very often not the lie -- deliberate, contrived, and dishonest -- but the myth -- persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic. Too often we hold fast to the clichés of our forebears. We subject all facts to a prefabricated set of interpretations. We enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought."

Re: Zambrano to the Fish
i continue to like what theo is doing. volstad has the potential to be a solid 4/5 type starter and is cheap. rotation is kind of interesting this year (assuming garza sticks)
Garza
Dempster
Wood
Volstad
Wells
4 guys there with something to prove but its better that Zambrano, coleman, lopez, ortiz, etc making starts last year
personal opinion, Garza will either get moved for an absurdly high return, or sign an extension. if he signs an extension i could see dempster getting traded and theo bringin in maholm type to fill out the rotation

Looks to me like a shot gun approach and hopefully 1 or 2 of them turn into something good.
Big Z had worn out his welcome and will miss the arm, but not the attitude. He and Ozzie are made for each other.
They will have so many new faces in the line up next year, I'm going to need a program to know who's up. Will it mean a better season? Probably not, but I think we'll see some hustle in players which has been lacking for quite a while.

I'll take it. Keep shedding those contracts...

Worth it to get rid of big z, but still not cheap.

Re: Zambrano to the Fish
Good riddance. 15 mil is damn steep, but just think of it as addition by subtraction. He's Ozzie's problem now.

In my opinion this is a no lose situation for the Marlins. If Z doesn't change his behavior they send him home while the Cubs continue to pay him. Definitely worth the risk on the part of the Marlins.

Probably not, but I think we'll see some hustle in players which has been lacking for quite a while. Mebbe. Mebbe not. could be they end up squaring off in the dugout by the end of April. Over/under, anyone?

Re: Zambrano to the Fish
I am sure this year he will go on to have 16+ wins. Just our luck.

Re: Zambrano to the Fish
I'm ok with this move. Big Z was a mess... 15 of his 18 mil is a LOT though...

Going to be a long year if your 3 and 4 are Wood and Volstad.

Re: Zambrano to the Fish
15 mil is a lot when we get not much of a starter in return. Just shows how big of a POS Z is.
