With all of the money the Cubs spent this off-season, why must they revert to the old regime by penny pinching Big Z. Zambrano stated yesterday that "I must go" if no deal is reached before the beginning of the season. The Cubs offered 11 mil while Zambrano wants 15.5.
With his tempermental attitude, leaving the contract window open on Zambrano would lead to poor team chemistry. Big Z can act like a 3 year old at times. Why risk everything that they have put together these last few months by undercutting your best pitcher.
Zambrano is the horse we will win with. He is always reliable and is just entering his prime. Lets not forget his bat-he had more homers than several starters last year.
Zito has raised the bar, wether fair or not, and the Cubs must and should pay Big Z. He is there future. True they could deal with him as a free agent, but i wouldn't count of Zambrano coming back here if he is mistreated.
The bottom line is that Zambrano is a great investment at a great price right now. Pay him!

What are the Cubs doing? This is unconscionable!! Jim, you must pay the man, just do it before you blow all the good will that you have built up. Now is not the time to act like the south siders.
