Anyway, back on topic.


I guess we will try and trade him at the deadline then and see if he will leave.


What's the realistic return we could get on him?

Nothing worth trading for I'd say. I kind of think it may be better to just take our medicine and hope he gets better and then try to trade him when his stock is higher.

I guess I can see that, and if we can get a Zambrano anywhere near where he used to be, Zambrano, Demp would be a solid 1-2 again

A clean house in the coaching section may be what zambrano needed. none of us our in the locker room and know what relationships players have with coaches. Larry, Lou etc could have been a real issue behind closed doors.

I truthfully think Rothschild was a major issue.. Not just for Zambrano.

I'm seriously pumped about Rothschild leaving. All I always heard was how good of a pitching coach he was but then guy a like Wellemeyer goes to Dave Duncan and succeeds.

i knew Z wasnt leaving....Full NTC, plus if he left the SP for Cubs be awfull. i still think Z can win 15 games this year. Has won over 10 every year but 1. I think the 8-0 with Quade showed him and Lou had some problems...

Again using the W-L stat as a reputable stat...
Only dumbassees and meathead fans use that stat as if it means something.

I think Zambrano is under-rated, i think when he goes out there and stop the pouting and that garbage he is one of the best pitchers in the NL, I know this is blasphemy on the South Side but I'd take him on the Sox

How do we judge teams per season..WINS....so yes they do matter. tired of guys saying wins dont matter. Rather have a guy with 21 wins 3.30 ERA over a guy with 12 wins 2.30 ERA....thats 9 more wins for the TEAM. That could make difference of PLAYOFFS or no playoffs
