This Giants off-season has been primarily all about the hitters. I want to change subjects and talk a little about the pitching. It looks like the pitching is in place. Timmy of course is still your #1. Cain, #2. I would put Madison Bumgarner as your #3. Sanchez 4, and you would think Zito has to be your #5, right?
In my opinion, I say no to Zito. The Giants have to keep him on the roster because of his still huge salary. He still has 3 years left in his monstrous 7 year, $126 million contract, and no other team will dare touch that. Unless the Giants just release him and pay it out, or trade him for a scrub and have the other team pay some of it. I know Neukom isn't that dumb. Or at least I hope he isn't!
I say put him in long relief and spot starter and sign someone like a Doug Davis type, or even bring back a more experienced Kevin Correia. I even had a thought of seeing what Dontrell Willis had left. If he is right mentally I think he could still be a very good pitcher. My point is, I think anyone at this point would be better than Zito in the 5 spot. Id appreciate your thoughts.
I say let The Machine try out for our 5th starter.
