HE GETS ON BASE A LOT!!!!!

10.5 million for a guy who is a HOF pitcher?

Randy Wolf just got 8 million from the Dodgers. I'd take Tom Glavine every day of the week.

Plus, he's a big club house guy. If Zito does become a Met, having Tom Glavine around to become another tutor type player can never hurt.

I still wouldnt pay him. Even if I had the money.

Well, look in your subject line. it's a 1 year contract.

Second, I heard him on the radio say he wanted to pitch for 2 or 3 more years.

He won as many games this year as Schilling ($13 million) and Mussina ($19 million). His ERA is similar to Zito ($7.9 million), Lowe ($9.5 million).

This is what a big market team pays for a front of the rotation guy.

Heh, I'm quoting myself for the first time...Barry Zito just signed a 7 year $126 million contract with the SF Giants. That's an odd choice cause the Giants don't seem too competitive, but they showed him the $$$

In the ridiculous world of these crazed salaries, if Jason Marquis - who sucked so utterly and completely last year that LaRussa didn't let him throw so much as a single pitch during the entire playoffs - is worth $7 million a year (gotta love the Cubs ROFL ) then Glavine is certainly worth $10.5 million.

Glavine will win 15 to 20 games, and have an ERA around 2.50 or 3.00. Plus he will play gold glove defense for a pitcher, and he can handle the bat pretty well. Not a clubhouse cancer, and does not get hurt on a regular basis (like Pedro). Glavine is also nails in the postseason. Hats off to the Mets, way to take care of the ace of the staff.

The Rocket only played half a year for that much.

Zito signs with the Giants for 7 years, $126 million!

Wow! Just Wow!

Marquis will probably have 5 HRs at windblown Wrigley. so that's worth something :p

Boy..did they get ripped off..Zito sucks ass..
