The Phillies signed Big Z to a minor league deal. Wonder if he has a shot at their rotation with Halladay future uncertain. Minor league kids beware. Z could go Mike Tyson on you and threaten to eat your kids.

Kinda ironic seeing as some of our 'experts' were puffing out their chests that not one team would give him a chance.

Whoops.

On the topic at hand, it will be interesting to see what Z has left in the tank. His performance in Miami was not good by any measure, and I would be surprised if he was used beyond a middle relief role in the near future. But if you had told me at the start of April that Kevin Gregg would stablize the Cubs bullpen as a closer I would have been equally shocked. #YCPB

Unless of course the measure is Chris Volstad.

Then his performance looks pretty darn good.

Was not aware of Volstads becoming a statistic or metric for measuring pitcher...

Really? You haven't seen the Volstad Pitching Matrix on the back of every baseball card sold now?

So what you're telling me is that you plan on taking a huge dump on a paper plate, lighting it on fire, and seeing how closely the burning plate of shit resembles whatever pitcher we're trying to compare it to?

My mistake.

I made the first direct statistical comparison of two players traded for each other in the history of sports.

How totally and completely unreasonable of me.

Also in Innings Pitched, Strike Outs, ERA, Quality Starts, SHO and any other actual meaningful pitching stats as well as the made up ones that whiny fans complain about.

wow dude, you really need to loosen up your panties...
you call out ppl on here for being whiney and the only ones i see on here constatly whining about everything is you and a couple of your buddies..

you really need to remove that dark cloud over your head, life is too short to worry about what a baseball team does or doesnt do as much as you seem to do...
