That's stupid. Zito is very good, but he's no HOF pitcher at this point in his career. Super huge gamble.

and Zito is now the highest payed pitcher in MLB history. Its even higher than $126 Million, after he signs he is guarunteed $133 million. And all the clauses in his contract, he can earn up to a possible $144 million!

That's a sweet deal. Only $20 million for 3 years?

I agree.

He had a bit of an off year last year (injuries and traded to the NL), but he's only 30 years old and is good for 20-30 homers and 80+ RBIs a season.

The real losers are the A's fans... this happens to them every year... I hate a system that penalizes small markets.
One of these big spenders will strip the Tigers of their young pitchers.

I completely agree merc. MLB is far from a level playing field. The gap between the have's and the have nots is amazing.
