I also think Schmidt at 47 million would have been a good signing for the Giants. Btw Benitez as the closer ouch! Im sure he'll blow at least 3-4 zito wins this year. Than I guess Huston Street did the same thing last year i always cringed seeing him walk to the mound last year.
IMO I think Zito's best years are behind him.
The Giants needed this signing to replace the loss of Schmidt, but not for 7 years and $126 million. Zito is not worht $18 million per year or 7 years for that matter, he was 12-12 last year. The only reason he got such a huge contract is because the market has been inflated this entire offseason. Not to mention that Zito is going to break down sooner than later. Granted he has been healthy for the last 6 years, but he isn't going to stay that way for the next 7 years. Congrats on throwing away your chances of winning the NL West. I'm not a fan of the Giants or the Dodgers, but LA will take the division this year.

Javii I promise you the Giants will be better than the Dodgers this year, no question about it. Switching to the NL and switching to a great pitchers park will help Zito so much, we have one of the best rotations in all of baseball now.

For the last three years his BB Rate has increased, and it almost reached 4 last year. Of course, as everybody shoudl know giving up walks as a pitcher is deadly. The first four years of his career were much stronger than the last three, why would he all of a sudden go back to pitching like he was at the beggining of his career? What will most likely help him give him an ERA of under 4.00 next season is the fact that he will be pitching at SF, he won't be giving up the long ball as much.
