Zambrano traded to Marlins for Chris Volstad (P. 8)

[Old Style]

With Z gone, and Wood as yet unsigned, there are no remaining players from the 2003 team.

Wow.

Was he spotted at Fenway?

“I’d love to get compared with Zambrano on the field, the way his numbers were, the way he threw the ball,” Garza said according to CSNChicago.com. “He’s one hell of a pitcher. But that guy – I tell you what – he’s going to have one hell of a year. I kid you not – he’s going to go out there and go down to Miami and surprise a lot of people. His stuff is still electric. It still bottoms out.

 

“I wouldn’t be surprised to see him in the Cy Young race (this) year. I kid you not. He’s got (good enough) stuff and I think just playing with Ozzie, getting his own comfort zone, he’s going to have one hell of a season. I wish nothing but the best for that guy.”

If we pay 15 million for Zambrano to have a Cy Young-caliber season for Ozzie Guillen and Jeffrey Loria, I will jump out a window.

 

It's a good thing that it is impossible for that to happen.

You live in a window-less room?

I always forget that this trade happened. [expletive]...really hope they can help Volstad perfect his sinker/curve combo.

He was standing on a block of ice and the ice melted.

It in fact has many windows and I jump out of them often for no reason at all. It's much more likely I jump out a window than that Z is an elite pitcher this year

[Guest]

Garza is kidding you not.

[javy knows my name]

Garza is kidding you not.

 

It sounds like he's trying to convince himself above all.

[seanimal]

i'll bet garza a tin foil recreation of his al championship ring he's wrong

[NewUserName]

I think Cy Young it going to far, but I think Z will have a solid season. That being said, I am still glad he is with the Marlins and not the Cubs.

[CubmanPi]

Garza's a cheerleader off the field too.

Z is the very definition of "Million dollar arm, ten cent head." He had (and still possesses) good stuff and could have been so much more. But he was held back by his temper and immaturity, and if he hasn't grown out of it by now, he never will.

That's nonsense. The dude has had an incredible amount of success pitching in the major leagues. He has had a great career. If he was the definition of ten cent head he never would have had more than a cup of coffee in the majors. Or, at the very best, he would have had a flameout of a career like John Rocker.

this is completely moronic, sweat-stained stupidity; his ERA is 6th best amongst active pitchers with more than 250 starts

[SouthSideRyan]

I [expletive] hate Bull Durham.

I sold all my non-blu ray dvd's a couple weeks ago at a local used videogame/movie store here in town. The only one they flat out wouldn't buy was Bull Durham.

BR lists 36 active pitchers with more than 250 starts, just for the record.

 

Sidenote: Livan Hernandez leads the list easily with 474 starts. Next is Tim Wakefield at 463, then Javier Vazquez (443), Kevin Millwood (415), and Jeff Suppan (411). And of course, Wakefield and Vazquez are talking retirement while Millwood and Suppan are being slowly forced out. Then there's a nice big jump to Tim Hudson at 377 starts.

 

Livan Hernandez is freak of nature.

[BCVM22]

Aaaaaand he's gone. Royals claim Volstad off waivers.

[Irrelevant Dude]

Aaaaaand he's gone. Royals claim Volstad off waivers.

Good luck with that KC.

[Sammys Boombox]

You mean I still have to watch Chris Volstad next season? Dangit!

[Theo]

Looks like Tarzan, pitches like Jane, what a turd this guy was.
