And I was just noting that all of you called me crazy for wanting to rid ourselves of Z's contract. You argued that many teams would take it off our hands but it would be a mistake to do so. Now some of you are saying that nobody would take him off our hands without the Cubs eating a portion of his salary, which is exactly what I was saying then. That's all.

This is an entirely different scenario compared to last year. However, I still argue personally that there are plenty of teams that would claim Zambrano off of waivers outright. He's still young and I think he has it in him to throw 200 innings at a sub 3.50 ERA. What exactly are your expectations for him if he would have stayed in the rotation all year?
