Zambrano extends w/Cubs 5yr 91M
 

Sorry BLEEDS. It didn't work out for you.

Re: Zambrano extends w/Cubs 5yr 91M
 

we didnt have a chance at him anyway...plus we own him

Re: Zambrano extends w/Cubs 5yr 91M
 

well that sucks!

thats pretty affordable for big z man.

Re: Zambrano extends w/Cubs 5yr 91M
 

Sweet.. thats 5 or 6 more years of seeing him melt down when he gives up a homer..

Re: Zambrano extends w/Cubs 5yr 91M
 

Darn... now what pitcher are the Reds going to go after with the money they saved by not exercising Dunn's option? [/sarcasm]

Re: Zambrano extends w/Cubs 5yr 91M
 

Isn't that more than the deal he turned down in spring training? Good move for Big Z.

By the way how good is the deal we got Harang locked up to? Z may be slightly better but Harang's certainly more mentally stable. I think Harang's worth every penny Z is.

:D Good point

Re: Zambrano extends w/Cubs 5yr 91M
 

That sucks. Guess we have to keep the Donkey now...

What, this year? You'd better check his career numbers against us.

Not to mention, having someone like him on our roster gives us about a 30 game swing in wins versus what we've been throwing up (pun intended) in the 3/4/5 spots this year...

PEACE

I didn't check the stats, but it seems like we always hit him pretty well.:confused:

Re: Zambrano extends w/Cubs 5yr 91M
 

I would hate to think we would even consider tying up 15-20 mil a year on anyone as mentally unstable as Zambrano. Hopefully there will be better options in the FA market during the offseason.

Good luck trying to do better than a legitimate number one starter who is a mere 26 years old...

Re: Zambrano extends w/Cubs 5yr 91M
 

Over the past 3 years Carlos sits at 3.90 ERA vs Cincy...the Reds are .50 better than any other team in the central (~3.25 is the next best team). This year...his ERA is 6+ vs Cincy.

Re: Zambrano extends w/Cubs 5yr 91M
 

he's a strong arm that is always healthy, and keeps his team in the game. i would take him any day of the week.

Re: Zambrano extends w/Cubs 5yr 91M
 

Thanks. We do hit him well then. I guess it because we have good lefty power, and a couple guys who can mess with him when they get on base.:cool:
