#Angels should sign Zito and Mulder to minor league deals next year. RT @jcrasnick: Scott Boras says Barry Zito wants to pitch in 2015.

[disarcina]

sat out all last year -- if he wanted to play he should have gone to Spring Training as an invitee somewhere.

 

he actually had some good starts for the SF Giants his final season.......am sure someone will take a flyer on him......perhaps the A's -- they need someone to replace rental Lester.

Fletcher must be forgetting this isn't 2004.

Looking at our roster it's too bad this isn't 2010 or 2011

I expect them to trade for Hudson as well.

With moves like this we could very well be engineeting the team to have the AL West title and the best regular season record in 2002.

Why in the hell

[Angel Oracle]

I'd say why not, if only a ST invite?

 

But knowing Sosh, Zito would get the 5th spot in the rotation and then have a 6.00 ERA and have it take 2 months for him to be released.

 

Standard MO for this org

"Zito signed a seven-year, $126 million contract with San Francisco in December 2006. He went 63-80 with a 4.62 ERA as a Giant and was generally regarded as a major disappointment, but Boras said that notion is inaccurate because Zito helped the team win two World Series.

"You hear honest and valued owners say, 'You know, Barry Zito's contract was wonderful, because we won two world championships. We hired a hen to sit on our eggs of (Matt) Cain, (Tim) Lincecum and (Jonathan) Sanchez, and look where our system is because we had a guy who could take on the No. 1 role for a couple of years and put us in that position,''' Boras said."

 

LOL. i swear, boras could sell ice to an eskimo.

[Angel Oracle]

LOL at Boras

 

Helping to win a WS title envelops more than just putting on the uni, which Zito essentially only did for the Giants.

[Angel Oracle]

Who's next?   Re-acquiring Kevin Appier?    Signing Billy Koch?

Barry Zito sat on the eggs.  Holy ****.

 

I wonder if his nesting skills were listed in the glossy, leatherbound portfolio that Boras originally presented to the Giants.  Highly doubt it.

[Stradling]

Why is everyone freaking out about this? If they sign him it would be to a very minimal contract. More than likely a spring training invite.

[yk9001]

"Freaking out" - you and I must have different definitions.

[ukyah]

boras is killing it on this one.

[tomsred]

Barry has been studying Bumgarner.  He knows what he needs to add to his game that will push him over the top.  Hint, it's the snot rocket.

This just gives Scioscia another excuse when we hang onto another non-performing veteran who is getting regular playing time. "He's nesting our eggs."
