June 11, 200620 yr After watching a bit of the A's v. Yanks and seeing Zito get knocked around a bit, I was curious to look up his stats against them since I always seem to remember him getting hosed by the Yanks. Since Barry Zito's 8 IP, 2 H, 1 ER performance against the Yankees in the 2001 ALDS he has turned in these 'sparkling' number against the MFY: 2002: 1-1, 5.73 ERA | 11 IP, 11 H, 7 ER, 6 BB, 12 SO, .275 BAA 2003: 1-2, 3.71 ERA | 17 IP, 17 H, 7 ER, 9 BB, 12 SO, .258 BAA 2004: 0-2, 5.79 ERA | 19.2 IP, 25 H, 12 ER, 6 BB, 18 SO, .309 BAA 2005: 0-1, 7.59 ERA | 11.2 IP, 15 H, 9 ER, 4 BB, 8 SO, .319 BAA 2006: 1-2, 8.29 ERA | 14.1 IP, 13 H, 13 ER, 15 BB, 11 SO, .310 BAA Totals: 3-8, 5.90 ERA | 73.2 IP, 81 H, 48 ER, 40 BB, 61 SO Zito is a very good pitcher, and I know the Yankees are good, but he is just plain rough when he faces the Yanks. Just thought this might interest some of you.

June 12, 200620 yr Wrong Boston should go after him. Josh Beckett killed the Yanks with us and then we all know what happend last time he pitched against them with Boston. Maybe its a reverse curse.

June 12, 200620 yr I've never been a big Zito fan. His biggest asset is being left handed and his curve ball. Having one gonzo pitch is great if you're a relief pitcher (as in a closer) but for a starter, I prefer the guy who can throw a little of everything.
June 12, 200620 yr Zito's a decent pitcher, but I would not be the GM who shelled out a bunch of players to get him this summer.
