Highest paid set-up man ever??

With Ted Lilly coming back to the rotation, Sweet Lou has decided to move Carlos Zambrano ( $18 mill a year ) to the pen as a set up man. I have never wanted a baseball season to end so quickly after it started.....

Is it possible to be out the chase for the Central in April..........the answer is yes!!

I'm guessing this will be a temporary move. Silva is bound to fall back to earth at some point.

And I thought it sucked being a Brewer fan this year.

Horrible decision. Zambrano may not be an ace any longer, but he's still a solid #2/3 starter. Moving him to the bullpen at his salary is an awful idea, especially when he's still at least the 3rd best starter on the team.

The Cubs are such a laughingstock as well as the Mets for being large market teams who are pathetic.

I mean between Sorianos and Big Z's contract think of the things they could do with that money.

Being a Brewer fan, I absolutley love it though!!!

Zito filled the same void a couple of years ago, but not in a specific relief role:

I think I'll just watch Cubs games this season with the Benny Hill theme playing in the background.
