talent-wise the Giants have the best rotation in the NL. if Zito's last start was a result of improved mechanics, it honestly wouldn't be inconceivable for them to make a playoff push- despite their putrid offense.
it's only a matter of time before he's moved off 3rd if the team has any designs for him at contributing at the pro level he won't hit for enough power with his stature to stick there long term
