Player Notes
September 30, 2009
Coming off a two-hitter, Carlos Zambrano got hit hard in the second game of a double-header at Wrigley Field on Wednesday, allowing four runs in six innings, as the Cubs lost 8-2 to the Pirates.

Our View:Big Z has had a frustrating year in 2009, failing to win at least 13 games for the first time since 2002. If tonight ends up being his last, which is likely, he finishes the season 9-7 with a 3.77 ERA in 28 starts.

Carlos Zambrano told the Chicago Tribune that he is considering retiring after next season if his play does not improve. "Look, this is the only season I haven't won 16 or 18 or 14 games. If it happens again next season, two seasons in a row, I'll quit. Believe me, I'll quit. I just have to put this behind me," Zambrano said.

Our View:Big Z has always been known for saying what's on his mind, but we highly doubt he will quit after next season. He may not have the stuff he once did, but he still has plenty of money on the table that he won't collect if he takes his ball and goes home.

Carlos Zambrano only surrendered two hits over nine scoreless innings in Friday's 3-0 win at San Francisco. He issued one walk and fired eight strikeouts.

Our View:Zambrano improved his record to 9-6, and collected his first complete game and shutout of 2009. The ace hurler allowed two or less earned runs in four of his five starts in September.

Were the Cubs to go ahead and explore trading Carlos Zambrano (who has a full no-trade clause) this offseason, like they reportedly plan to do, the Boston Globe reports he would only accept a trade to the White Sox, Red Sox or Dodgers.

Our View:The White Sox would likely have the most interest. Big Z's balky contract, three years remaining on a $90 million deal, would be hard to move, however.
September 20, 2009
Carlos Zambrano did not factor into the decision on Sunday as the Cubs outlasted the Cardnals in 11 innings by a score of 6-3. Zambrano went six innings and allowed two runs on five hits while walking three and striking out six.

Our View:Big Z was solid in tonight's game, but his 2009 season has still been a major disappointment. He is not the pitcher he once was, but he still has the stuff to be effective when he is on.
