Will Crazy Carlos Fit In Land of Oz?

January 7, 2012 in Featured, Offseason by jonnylons

Carlos Zambrano was acquired by the Miami Marlins on Thursday for cash and one Chris Volstad. Although the kid from Palm Beach County was looking to become a mainstay in the rotation, this is definitely an upgrade for the Marlins in terms of pure pitching potential. But with every reward there is risk, and with Zambrano there is definitely a [...]
