Zambrano's outing wasn't great, but he didn't let anything get out of hand, either. Unfortunately, these days that qualifies as excellent... [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif[/img]
One game, his first in the pen, is hardly a "sample" by any stretch... if, say after 3 or 4 appearances, he averages a run per outing, then I think it's safe to say it's not a great experiment... but still better than Samardzija staying as our 7th inning guy. Any way you slice it, even if he turns in 4 straight scoreless outings, seeing Zambrano in the bullpen is desperation by definition.
