Player Notes
March 15, 2010
Carlos Zambrano only issued one earned run on five hits over four innings in Monday's 5-2 loss to the Rockies in the Cactus League. He had no walks or strikeouts.

Our View:Zambrano showed pretty good form today, namely as he did not allow any free passes. He could be headed for a strong 2010 campaign, but his poor track record with durability should remain in mind during fantasy drafts.
March 5, 2010
Carlos Zambrano fired two perfect innings in Friday's 8-7 exhibition win over Arizona. He had no walks with one strikeout.

Our View:Zambrano is off to a nice start in spring training, but should be drafted below the elite hurlers, due to his failure to stay healthy as of late.
January 14, 2010
According to ESPNChicago.com, Carlos Zambrano publicly stated that he wants to remain a Cub for the rest of his career.

Our View:Big Z has been mentioned in trade rumors with multiple teams all offseason, but the temper mental right-hander has a no-trade clause in his contract. He is also owed $53.75 million over the next three years, which has made him even tougher to deal. He stated, "I want to finish my career here, and I want to be a Cub forever," but the Cubs can't be happy with his recent performance. Zambrano admitted that his struggles last season were a result of poor conditioning, and he made just 28 starts, his lowest total since 2001. He claims he's now in the best shape of his life, but Big Z is certainly trending down for his career and could, as always, melt down at any moment.
December 30, 2009
Carlos Zambrano will not be traded this offseason, according to Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated.

Our View:While the Cubs still very much want to deal him, Big Z seems very unlikely to waive his no trade clause. Were he to reverse course and do so, Heyman thinks the Mets would be very interested. The Yankees are no longer a possibility after acquiring Javier Vazquez.
December 28, 2009
Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated tweeted that the Yankees inquired about Cubs' ace hurler Carlos Zambrano.

Our View:They contacted the Cubs before signing Javier Vazquez, who used to pitch for the cross-town rival White Sox. The Cubs are willing to move Zambrano, but he does have a no-trade clause in his contract.
