Sarcasm, right? not really. So you'd really let Zambrano walk any for nothing with a huge gaping hole to fill in your rotation? This rotation already has a question mark in it so why would you make that an even bigger area of concern? better than having a huge gaping hole in our rotation that costs 18 mil. What else would you want to fill the void that he would have left in the rotation? I like Gallagher a lot, but would you expect a rotation of Lilly, Marquis, Hill, Gallagher, and Marshall to win you a lot of games? And how is Zambrano a huge hole in the rotation? He is wild at times, but his stuff is among the best in the league and he's still only 26. is Zambrano + Marshall better than two 45 million dollar pitchers? You know, given the decline in Zambrano's walk rate and the most likely underlying issue, probably not.
