Get comfy, Big Z

Any notion of Carlos Zambrano leaving Wrigleyville after '07 is pretty absurb. We can take solace in the fact that Jim Hendry and the parent Tribune Company have shown no reservations about opening the vault for the guys they deem valuable to the organization. Derrek Lee, Aramis Ramirez, Sammy Sosa, Kerry Wood...some deals look better than others, but the point is, they get done.

Phil Rogers' Tribune editorial a few days ago posed the question of whether to deal Zambrano to the top bidder. I've asked a couple friends how many pitchers in MLB they'd deal Zambrano for and we keep coming to the same consensus: one. Until Bill Bidwill buys the Minnesota Twins, that guy isn't going anywhere. Rogers tossed out the idea of prospects like Nick Adenhart, Mike Pelfrey, and Humberto Sanchez. All are top-shelf prospects, but in the end, they're just that. Thanks but no thanks, Phil.
