It's not like if Z was here the Cubs would be 12-4 or anything like that. They might have 5-6 wins, that's it. It was time for him to leave.

Meh. What do you want them to be doing? Crying after every L? They're gonna have about 90+ of those this year. They need to look for anything "positive" they can right now.

Yeah I suppose I have to look at it from their perspective.

Clubhouse chemistry is more important though, right?

Really? Do you think our record would be any different with Zambrano? Or am I missing sarcasm on your part? :thinking:

Personally, if Theo Einstein and Jedi Hoyer only pan out for a few years, they have done our Cubs a great service in sabering off dead weight.

There was really no point to keeping Zambrano anyway if they could trade him for something. Z had little trade value and nobody will pony up more than the minimum $12MM or so arbitration salary to net the Cubs a draft pick after the season.

Yes, "your" Cubs have been done a great service. Sure could use Z's bat if anything...

Zambrano's looked pretty good so far this year. Control hasn't been impeccable, but what can you expect from a guy who'd routinely walk 100 guys per year? Hopefully he can play himself into a good situation for free agency. Somebody will give him a multi-year deal. Good for him. Too bad he couldn't continue his career in Chicago.

All the shit this moron did that gave this organization a black eye and there are still apologists for him? Unbelievable. Absolutely ridiculous.
