 Barry Zito is the new Mike Hampton
Barry Zito is the new Mike Hampton
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 ...

(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 ...

Tim Lincecum and Barry Zito should trade contracts
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.

 The Race is On: First Pitcher to 20 Losses Wins
The Race is On: First Pitcher to 20 Losses Wins
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 ...
