Zito doesnt fit the paying their stars line. The problem with Zito is they paid considerably more than anyone else would have. Still 2012 playoffs and WS. Almost enough to justify the signing.
I had no problem with either the Cain or Pence signings. Cain had been as dependable a starter as there was in baseball. He had the size and delivery to suggest longevity. Then he hurt his elbow and never recovered. So it didnt work out but it was justified.
Pence had been a remarkably consistent good to very good player with an Ironman rep and a leader on 2 WS winners. Then he gets hit with a pitch in spring and the injury bug goes from there.
Is Marvin Bernard still on the payroll? :P

Good Gawd, are we still paying Cain? I thought that ship had sailed. I guess it is true that the Giants award their stars for past performance. It just seems like they always pay for years past these players prime activity. Or it it that I am unable to to rid my mind of Zito?    :-X
