Around SBN: Iron Bowl Thoughts... Right Now

How's Zambrano doing?

With recent trade talk of Peavy and how we need to resign Dempster I started to wonder the status of Carlos Zambrano.  Have there been any updates on how his shoulder is doing?

The urgency for Cubs to get another front line starter has me questioning the health of Z.  What are your thoughts on how he's going to do in 2009 considering we had a couple scares with him so far in '08.

I'm not really worried about Z's shoulder.

I’m much more worried about his head.

Does anyone have Annie Savoy's phone number in Durham?

Maybe she could get him channeling through the right, or left I can’t ever remember, eyelid and put all that Chakra energy to use.

Maybe

If Z didn’t sleep with his wife, he could re-channel his sexual energy into his pitching.

He needs to breathe through both eyelids, by the way, and use his ‘Pridal Eye’, just like Fernando.

How would anyone know?

He’s not playing winter ball, so there wouldn’t be any additional strains on his shoulder. My guess is that he’ll be fine for spring training.

As noted above, I think we have to worry more about his head.

z needs to sit back,take it easy,and spend the winter counting his money and hopefully he,ll be fine by spring training.and no world baseball classic this year either z.worry about your team.last time he played he got off to a very bad start.

It's too early to tell.

No players have yet been named to any teams.

If we get Peavy, I hope we tell him he can't pitch for USA.

The year of the WBC was his worst year so far.
