Just read the game recap over @ ESPN.com and decided to check if they'd updated player bios. I clicked on Zambrano's name and decided to take a gander at the "Insider" portion of his bio. This is laughable:

 

Holding Base Runners: AVERAGE

Has Slide Step

 

Talk about perplexing. He has one of the FASTEST delieveries in baseball which makes him EXTREMELY tough to run against (as evidence by his 1 SB allowed last year). Not only that, but Carlos has developed an extremely good move to first (which I believe resulted in a few pick offs). Which brings me to this; if Carlos is average, just what the hell constitutes a good to plus rating when holding baserunners? Zero steals and 45 pickoffs? Someone at ESPN needs to brush up on their homework.
