They'd probably be pretty embarrassed if their $126 million man lost 20 games. | |

That's a lot of bank...gotta love MLB's guaranteed contracts. | |

This is unprecedented territory for a bad signing. I dont think there is any option that is not possible if he continues throwing batting practice during games. | |

I think he was on the juice. The guys fast ball is now in the 82 range.

I believe that the team has to release the player to get them off the roster... I've been known to be wrong before however...  | |

It's great work if you can get it.

Unless he put a clause in his contract, then Zito still has options left, beleive it or not... He was almost optioned down to the minors a few years ago. This isn't Kevin Brown bad, yet, but could be. I don't think he was ever on the juice, as he has never really thrown harder than 88-89 but when you throw 80 with a slow curve you aren't going to fool anyone. I think the major problem is either he a) has an injury he isn't telling people about or they can't pinpoint or b) a major mechanical flaw. I'm going with B as his arm action just hasnt looked right the last couple of years...
