Wow. This is just amazing. Everyone who knows baseball knew Zito's deal was terrible for the Giants. Zito was very, very good but worth $126 Million? Definitely not. Truth is, he could still be a good pitcher and perhaps a stint in the pen could help him considering he has gone 247 games without missing a starting turn.
