Posted: Sat Jan 20, 2007 12:29 pm Post subject: Money time for Zambrano |
 |
|
Zito set the stage
Zambrano says he wants Zito-type money and doesn't want to go into the season worrying about next year. A few quotes from Zambrano...
Quote: |
'He spent a lot of money,'' Zambrano said. ''I hope he has more for Big Z.'' |
Quote: |
''You take less than Zito take and everybody talks about you, saying, 'Zambrano sign a bad contract,''' Zambrano said. ''You take more and everybody says, 'Zambrano is taking advantage.' I think the thing is to be around what Zito signed for, more or the same.'' |
All in all it would seem logical that the Cubs poney up and get this behind them.

I don't see anyone on that list that I'd get excited about other than maybe Westbrook, who I don't see hitting the FA market.
I think we are OK in 08 as long as our minor league prospects develop fairly well. I'd like to think that we could come up with at least 2 starters out of Nipper, En Gonz, Ed Gonz, Owings, Eveland and Cruz. |
