Would the Giants really eat the next three years of Barry Zito’s contract and let Jeff Suppan et al fill in the gaps? Bruce Jenkins says it’s a possibility. Personally, I think this is a management ploy to light a fire under Zito’s butt. There’s still a lot of spring training left. None of our starters looked good the first time through, and Todd Wellemeyer looked like a world beater last year. A lot can change in the next couple of days/weeks. But, it looks like I might have targeted the wrong bad contract as the potential drama starter in Giants’ camp this spring!
Thoughts? Response? Is there a 5th starter controversy?
(-SB)
I’m actually starting to believe that Zito may be gone before his contract is up. I don’t think it’ll happen, but I’m now at the point where I wouldn’t be surprised, and honestly I wouldn’t miss him that much.
definitely think he’ll be gone before the contract is over, but not this year.
