Regarding the move to the bullpen, I thought he would be used as a 2 - 3 inning reliever pitching 6th, 7th, 8th every 3 - 5th day to keep him relatively stretched out to return to a starter role. Guess that was just a bit too unconventional for Larry and Lou. At the time, Cubs were giving up tones of runs in these innings and Lilly was just getting his arm stretched out.

Z has shown that he has the talent to be an ace. Yeah, he's bat shit crazy but he has drive, passion and talent. There aren't more than 3 or 4 players on this Cubs team that have those traits.

Hope Z pulls his shit together and helps this team soon but I don't have high expectations.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Bingo.

I suspect he hasn't been healthy ever since sometime in 2008. His mechanics have been all over the place, so that tells me something has been wrong for a long time now. Now, who should be blamed for this is another story.
