Mets would be interested in Carlos Zambrano

Sports Doctor · 06-06-2007, 01:24 PM

From ESPN Fantasy:

According to one MLB team executive, the Mets would be "heavily involved" if the Cubs look to trade Zambrano, reports the New York Post. Zambrano is set to be a free agent after the season, and the Cubs could potentially deal him prior to the July 31 deadline.

Is he hurt? Would it be wise to overpay for him at his lowest, when he could potentially be a bust this year and not resign?

To date.

unless one of the pitchers goes down permanently I do not see the Mets making a deal for a free agent to be.

I do however anticipate they will be heavy suitors for him if ya know what I'm sayin

He's a head case. Not intererested. The Mets should only be involved to drive up the ncecessary price for another team to get him.

TheeSublimeOne · 06-06-2007, 01:55 PM

I'd take him in a heartbeat. He's the only good pitcher on the Cubs and taking the heat for injuries and bad play of the rest of the team. Sorta like when Piazza first came here and he was surrounded by scrubs for the most part - he can't carry the entire team. He'd make us a lock for the division, if healthy.

MetfanBren · 06-06-2007, 01:56 PM

He's either hurt or an idiot, because his arm angle problem is eerily similar to Pedro's last year. So yeah, he's either pitching through it or too stupid to correct it. Even Dr. Rick can't solve these problems...

And the Cubs have a lot more to gain by leaking this stuff than anyone else does. They have to be pretty distressed about all of this right now...

Wha?

Marshall 1-2, 2.25
Hill 4-4, 2.89
Marquis 5-2, 2.84
Lilly 4-4, 3.99
Zambrano 5-5, 5.62

I have to question Omar's sanity if he thinks he's a good fit here. He's overweight, won't have ANYTHING to motivate him after an 8 year deal and is pitching poorly. And he's uncontrollable and terrible for the clubhouse.

Why not just wait for Santana? If we lose a good young player like Fernanco or Guerra, I'd never accept that.

I think he meant to say he's the only sh*t pitcher on the Cubs. Just a typo.

joelyoungblood81 · 06-06-2007, 02:48 PM

If he can hit.300 and play second then I say let's get him

uphill struggle · 06-06-2007, 02:49 PM

see how he finishes the year. the first two months of this year aren't enough to throw out his very good career so far, but we really dont need him immediately

why can't it be both?

We should have trade Kazmir for this Zambrano back in 2004!

As far as trading for him now....

Well to be honest I am not to sure. Mets have to be interested and listen to offers but I wouldnt do anything stupid to get him. Luckily for us Omar's MO has been not to make stupid trades. Right now our starting pitching is solid and will only get better when Pedro returns.

Are you saying that a guy who injured himself by sending too much E mail is dim? If this year continues the way it has that will be one of his finer moments...

If he checks out in a physical then I'd be more then willing to deal for him this year (along with an extension) even with his struggles as long as Omar doesn't trade the farm.
