Barry Zito

[NikkiSixx]

Barry Zito is basically back in 2002 form, he is an animal. I have been watching him pitch, his ONLY problem has been walks and has had no walks through 7 innings. Zito is for real, he has just been unhittable this season. He is the ace of that staff and he is proving it.

[NikkiSixx]

His last 7 starts look like this.




48 IP, 1.25 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, 33 K's, .196 batting average against.



I would have to say that is pretty impressive.

Yeah, another solid May for Zito. This is better than I expected though.

First off, NikkiSixx, your av is scary as hell.

Secondly, Zito has been the most consistent SP on my staff thus far. And that's saying something after what he did in his first game of the season against the Yanks.

Yeah I got Zito in a trade for Felipe Lopez and at first it looked likeI got ripped off (beginning of May). Lopez' last day on my team he stole 4 bases, and since has been a disappointment. Zito, however, has been a savage and has helped me win lots of pitching categories while Harden is on the DL and Clemens was still retired. I added Pedro to my staff and my staff will eventually look this way:

Pedro
Clemens
Harden
Zito
Haren
Chris Young
Wandy

LOL, its Nikki Sixx from Motley Crue, in case you didnt know.



Zito has been pitching amazingly. He has been pitching so well that I was actually able to do a deal that looked like this...I gave Zito and Kerry Wood for Johan Santana. At the start of the year people would be saying "well why would the other guy do that?" Well, Zito is pitching as good as he ever has right now and Zito in the deal makes it fair, and with Wood's upside, he very well could get the better end of the deal. I still feel I won the trade because its Johan Santana and he is the best 2nd half pitchers in baseball
