If that happens I hope he makes enough noise to get traded Then some fans will label him a "trouble maker" or claim he has a "bad attitude". nondisclosed_email@example.com (smac49)Thu, 20 Mar 2008 15:15:11 +0000 Re: Expectations of Zito?https://boardsfgiantsfans.runboard.com/p459281,from=rss#post459281https://boardsfgiantsfans.runboard.com/p459281,from=rss#post459281He can't be counted on.

We have to remember he is going to be the "ACE" and will be facing other Aces....damn, can I change my vote to 7? nondisclosed_email@example.com (smac49)Thu, 20 Mar 2008 08:16:40 +0000 Re: Expectations of Zito?https://boardsfgiantsfans.runboard.com/p459118,from=rss#post459118https://boardsfgiantsfans.runboard.com/p459118,from=rss#post459118He'll go about 8-14 and be pulled from the rotation in early June for "adjustment" reasons while his ERA is at 7. He will make a "comeback" of sorts and post a 4 era the rest of the way leaving him at 5.2 for 2008! Giants will then decide they need to renegotiate his contract and add another 3 years to the back end!nondisclosed_email@example.com (tommsfgiant)Thu, 20 Mar 2008 07:07:05 +0000 https://boardsfgiantsfans.runboard.com/p459114,from=rss#post459114https://boardsfgiantsfans.runboard.com/p459114,from=rss#post459114I don't know if *any* Giants pitcher will notch over 11 wins in 2008, because of (lack of) run support. Last year Cain only won 7 games, so there's a good chance nobody gets double digits in wins. nondisclosed_email@example.com (MarcoPolo666)Thu, 20 Mar 2008 01:59:12 +0000 https://boardsfgiantsfans.runboard.com/p459110,from=rss#post459110https://boardsfgiantsfans.runboard.com/p459110,from=rss#post459110i'll take a wait and see approach until he makes his last 2 starts of the spring. he hasnt k'd one batter this spring, thats not a good sign.nondisclosed_email@example.com (FATALFART)Wed, 19 Mar 2008 23:25:13 +0000 https://boardsfgiantsfans.runboard.com/p459109,from=rss#post459109https://boardsfgiantsfans.runboard.com/p459109,from=rss#post459109I expect Zito to win at about the same rate as the offense manages 6 runs in a game. nondisclosed_email@example.com (Bhaakon)Wed, 19 Mar 2008 23:06:54 +0000 Expectations of Zito?https://boardsfgiantsfans.runboard.com/p459103,from=rss#post459103https://boardsfgiantsfans.runboard.com/p459103,from=rss#post459103I want to know what some of the board members are as far as expectations for Zito this year? I've heard some here say they are not terribly worried because control pitchers take longer to get ready. I can see that point. I personally think he will struggle to get 11 wins again, and I think his ERA will be somewhere in the mid fours. Every time I see the guy I think of Shawn Estes. Such an enigma. Sure he might pitch better once we are officially out of contention, but when the pressure and spotlight is on him, I have no faith.nondisclosed_email@example.com (Egan2581)Wed, 19 Mar 2008 22:42:59 +0000
