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.
