This is untrue. If I am Pedro Martinez and it's the offseason between 1999 and 2000, and I say I predict I will win the CYA, does that make me an idiot or arrogant? That makes me betting on the odds. But this is a tangent but there are a few cases where predicting a CYA for yourself isn't idiotic. I don't have a problem with that comment. It came off wrong, but it seemed to me like that was his goal. Frankly, I'd rather his goal be to win the CYA than make the playoffs, because of he does the first the second would come. No, because Pedro usually backs it up. And so does Z. Until 3 months out of this year. Z's never had Cy Young stuff. Pedro did. Sure he has. He has some of the best stuff in all of baseball. Not as good as Pedro in his prime. so carlos zambrano isn't as good as (arguably) the best pitcher of all-time? shame on him.
