When the San Francisco Giants signed Barry Zito
to a 7-year deal worth $126 million in December
2006, I immediately thought of another durable, consistent left-hander that had signed a huge long-term contract several years earlier: Mike Hampton. As it happens, Zito's most comparable pitcher through age 28 according to Baseball-Reference is, shock of shocks, Hampton. Their similarity score is ...
2008's been a bad year for Barry Zito.
A 4-12 record, a 5.73 ERA and no run
support from the Giants. But it just got worse - Fathead put his wall poster on clearance.

Major League Baseball's All-Overpaid and All-Underpaid teams
We've had some fun with the not-so-many faces
of Barry Zito this season, but I absolutely love
this shot from the Giants' holiday party on Wednesday. If the looks on the faces of Zito and these underprivileged kids don't warm you up a bit, it's ...
Randy Johnson has agreed to a one-year deal
with the San Francisco Giants, FOXSports.com has learned.
(06-17) 20:09 PDT -- Rick Peterson was Barry
Zito 's pitching coach through the pitcher's best years
in Oakland. Now that Peterson is unemployed, would it not make sense for the Giants to hire him as a special instructor to work with Zito and help ...
Who made Roto Royalty and who stayed in
a Roto Rut? The first full week of baseball
is under our belt, and it left some very surprising revelations. Superstar hitters struggled while some players came out of nowhere to steal the spotlight. Here is a breakdown of last week’s performances: Roto Ruts: Mark Teixiera, 1B: He is batting .192 with 2 homeruns and 3 RBIs. Those aren’t the ...
Here are some things Barry Zito needs to
do to get back in the rotation.
Imagine for a second that Zito was doing

A tale of two pitchers. One won the
2008 NL Cy Young Award. The other lost an
MLB-high 17 games in 2008. One gets paid 36 times as much as the other one - and it's not the one who deserves it.
Looking at Barry Zito's first season in San
Francisco through the use of PITCHf/x tracking data. Is
there hope for Zito to regain his Oakland form or are the Giants getting a different type of pitcher? The article deals with what Zito throws, how his control has slipped, and some potential changes he's made since moving to the NL.
Free agent and former Red Sox pitcher, Curt
Schilling announced today that he will visit troops stationed
in the Persian Gulf as part of a week-long USO/Armed Forces Entertainment tour. As part of a trip to “extend America’s well wishes,” Schilling will visit and shake hands with service ...
Can you recall the last time we had
a 20 game loser in Major League baseball? I
can. It was Mike Maroth, who went 9-21 for the Detroit Tigers in 2003. Fitting, isn't it, that Maroth did so for a Tigers team that went 43-119. I still say wow whenever I see that record. A few things must go right (er, wrong?) for a pitcher to lose 20 games. First, he must be pretty bad. Maroth has since been ...
It's going to be hard for the moneyball
apologists to apologize this time!
In May I wrote an article on this
website examining the Cuban and MLB career of Alexei
Ramirez. At that point (through May 15), he had only 5 hits in 45 plate appearances with the White Sox, and seemed to have lost the confidence of his manager and teammates. I noted that there were significant disparities among talent evaluators concerning his potential in the majors...
