i think if zito signs in the AL, he's screwed... if he signs in the NL, he'll do well

In the NL, he'll obviously fare much better, especially first half of 2007 when nobody will be familiar with him.

I have no problem with the Yankees signing Zito.

Numb1075 · 12-27-2006, 12:17 PM

they say he's too sensitive. I think the Bronx Zoo will drive him nuts if he doesn't start winning immediately.

Every pitcher would be better off pitching in hte NL than the AL.

As for Zito to the Yanks...you know what? I'd rather have him than Randy Johnson, that's for sure. It aint like Johnson came to NY and thrived on the pressure. If the Yanks go for Zito, will they overpay? Most certainly, but, then again, look at what Meche and Lee and Drew and Soriano, etc, are getting...everyone's "overpaid". I'd rather overpay the younger guy who has actually pitched well lately and who WANTS to come to NY, as opposed to the surly, chornically in back pain older player who cannot stand playing in NY.

When did Zito say he wanted to come to NY?

Hewson · 12-28-2006, 09:25 AM

A long time ago, he made it clear he wanted to play in a city where he can concentrate on his music and acting careers, basically NY or LA.

phillyfan26 · 12-28-2006, 09:30 AM

Yes, he doesn't want to have a derailed music career like Bronson Arroyo who went to Cincinnati. Oh, what could have been...
