Carlos and Ozzie on one team? Amazing.
And btw he hit .258/.375/.364 in sept. The power wasn't there but everything else was. (his shoulder injury fucked up his swing so that is why the power was down. Very downward swing after the injury.)
well he destroyed the minors and had the best season at age 20 since a-rod and scouts etc.. all see the potential in him.

Frank sure gets banned often.
And the Marlins keep getting more interesting.

Done Deal.
MARLINS GET:
-- P Carlos Zambrano
CUBS GET:
-- P Chris Volstad
Cubs are paying $15 million of Zambrano's $18 million salary. He will get a $75,000 bonus if he makes the All-Star team.
Zambrano has a $19.25 million option for 2013 that vests automatically under two conditions
1) Places first or second in 2012 Cy Young voting
or
2) Places in the Top 4 of 2012 Cy Young voting and is not on the disabled list at the end of the season

Zambrano and Guillen are like brothers. Guillen is the one that chills him out whenever he melts down. Zambrano is going to be rejuvenated under Ozzie, and the NL East just got a little wilder.
If the Nationals sign Fielder, it's going to be a long season for the Mets.

Highly unlikely that the option kicks in. And if he does pitch well enough to garner that many votes, the 3 million the Marlins would be paying in 2012 would be a bargain so the option money could be seen as a deferred payment for a good season lol.
Yep. A Good Day to Die Hard, its suppose to come out Valentine's day next year.

Didnt know this was already out until I saw it on gaf ad 
He can certainly generate more national headlines. Get the kids excited for Gatorade.

I think Zambrano will appeal more to the demographic they are trying to get.

No, when the Marlins were trying to sign Pujols there were reports saying that they really wanted to sign guys that would help generate interest from the latin community.

Zambrano and Hanley will fight in the dugout for sure. Next day Ozzie tells batting practice pitcher to throw at Hanley's head.

So Marlins rotation is:
Johnson
Zambrano
Buehrle
Sanchez
Nolasco
...that's not half-bad. If people pitch to their potential, that's actually pretty fucking good.

Phillies, braves and the nationals rotations are still better imo.

The Braves always humiliate Zambrano, so I'm fine with this. Two of his major meltdowns have been in games against the Braves.
It's a bit of a perfect storm rotation but has potential to be the 2nd best in the division, easily. Nolasco and Sanchez have shown potential of borderline ace solid #2 but injuries, same with Johnson but I expect him to have no problems at all. Buehrle will give solid starts in between Nolasco and Sanchez inconsistency.
Zambrano at 2M as a 5th starter? That's a bargain in my eyes. I really like the rotation and don't see how the Nats one is better past Zimmermann-Strasburg. Not a fan of Gio.

I think it can be the second best rotation in the nl east if they're healthy and pitch up to their potential.

Sorry, Yankees fans.
Chad Gaudin has signed a minor league deal with the Marlins and an invite to spring training.

Save us from Scott Proctor next, Marlins.

The Braves tried to save you, but you just didn't know better.
At least Carlos Zambrano had a few successful seasons.
We had him in 2009. Never again. He did the best he could actually when you look back.

Olney says the Rays have best rotation, what you guys think? I have to agree, 1-5 great young talent with addition of Matt Moore.
Phillies
Only until we resign Bartolo.
