how soon before this gets added to the "worst contracts ever" debate?

When Mike Hampton gets hit by a truck.

I think the might replace Hampton's contract. Zito is just awful. He has almost no chance of winning a game with his stuff at the moment. It's literally like batting practice. 84 MPH fastball thats straight as an arrow. I'm surprised Zito hasn't hit the DL with whip lash.

 

Hampton sucks as well but he actually has a chance to win a game with his stuff if he can make it threw 5 innings without getting hurt.

 

 

Heres a better question, does hampton have more of a chance of being healthy or does Zito have a better chance of finding a fastball?

I retract my previous statement about Gagne being the most overpaid reliever this season.

[Jayhawk Bill]

Let's not be hasty in our judgment, MDF.

[MDF3530]

Let us not forget that, when Zito was playing across the bay, he was pitching in the kind of park that pitchers have wet dreams about, where you could park several buses in both centerfield and foul territory and the fielders would still have plenty of room to catch the ball. AT&T Park (or whatever the hell it's called now) is definitely a hitters' park, specifically designed for an assclown that is no longer on that team.

Oh, certainly good points--but we're talking about Eric Gagne, who's on track to blow 24 save attempts for Milwaukee this year.

Zito is going back into the Giants rotation tonight against the Pirates without even making a relief appearance....what was the point of putting him in the pen?

[Mr Crunchy]

nice effort by zito against the pirates yesterday

jesus he sucks

i dont think he broke 85 on the gun and hes now a blistering 0-7 but he did lower his era last evening.

i have the pleasure of the baseball package and i have seen so much pathetic baseball this spring i wonder how some teams draw anyone at all..

pac bell is an amazing place and that in itself is the draw that keeps the giants attendence somewhat respectable but the fact is they suck even with some decent young pitching like cain and linecum....

this contract is going to be hung on their neck like a noose.

the big 3 of mulder zito and hudson have been reduced to the awful 2 and the mediocre 1.

oakland got their moneys worth from these guys and they performed well but now theyre essentially finished with the exception of hudson who has lost a lot from his great years on the bay....
