No he isn't. Legitimate front of the rotation guys are guys like Billingsley, Santana, Haren, Lincecum, etc.....Zambrano is a #2 at best these days. He does not have the makeup to be an ace. Unfortunately, we have no one that can be the ace of this team so Z gets it by default. But he is by no means a front of the rotation guy (by front of rotation I mean #1).

Can you name 30 better SPs in baseball?
I cant. There are some guys having better seasons than Carlos, but don't tell me you'd really take Duke, Vazquez, Davis or Lilly over him.
#1....#2....he is a front of the rotation guy at some spot. A team that wants to win a WS needs to have multiple guys of this calbre. His stuff is #1 calibre. His mental makeup isn't. But either way, my point was that even with his contract, if the Cubs were to waive him, there would be a long list of teams that would want him - probably including the Sox.
