Zito is a #2 pitcher on a good team, a #1 on a mediocre team. I don't call him an ace, a guy like Pedro or Santana is an ace. I agree dustin, if I was Beane, I would have dealt him for Milledge and maybe milk another low-level prospect. In the winter, I would not go after him for the big bucks, this guy may be worth $8 million per year, but nothing more than $10, that's ridiculous.
