Zito is featured on the cover of this week's Sports Weekly. The inside story about him is excellent, basically saying that he's more than ready to take the leadership role.
A gem quote from it:
You've got to love that cockiness. I think it bodes well for our stud pitcher.
Here's an interesting one from Chavez:
And finally, check out this one from Mulder, which certainly made me upset:
You can't argue that he's with a better team since that team went to the World Series last season, but a better organization? Everything is better? Why can't players be more like Tejada and just say good things or keep their mouth shut?
Well, I was going to root for Mulder this year. Scratch that.
I actually wanted to use this story to also throw a poll up about pitching and the former A's Fantastic Four.
Who do you think will win more games in 2005? Click on entry link below to vote and then explain why in the comments. Mulder could approach 30 wins with that offense behind him.
Tomorrow I'll put up a poll about who will have the lowest ERA at the end of the season.
