http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/player/715 Recent articles about Barry Zito en-us Catching up with some news, the Giants recently added four prospects to their 40 man roster. This was reported at their website by Haft, Baggarly, and Schulman. Here they are in order of where I think they rank in terms of contributing eventually (and also probably in order of contributing) to the Giants:Kevin PucetasHe had been winning big in the minors until his 2009 big bump of a season, once winning the title of "Most Spectacular Pitcher of the Year" for having the lowest ERA in...

So I was just lounging in my flat stringing up the new acoustic when I got a righteous phone call from one Barry Zito. He was coming over…with my bag of Afghan Trainwreck and some really special news.

Barry Zito's "A Man's Gotta Do What A Man's Gotta Do" is a classic for our time. And really, I know what you're thinking. Chris, this sounds awful! Make it stop! Why isn't he on key?

Giants super-chill pitcher Barry Zito is recording an album and, unfortunately for him (and anyone who listens), one of his songs was leaked to The Dirty. "What A Man's Gotta Do." Ugh.

The stadium serving the second most-expensive beer is the Tampa Bay Rays' Tropicana Field, charging "just" $8 for a 20-ounce beer. But that's a franchise that has to overcharge for beer, because they can't get anyone to pay admission and come to their games.But don't feel too bad, G...

The team believed that Zito had the goods to lead the Giants in the post Barry Bonds era by consistently taking the ball every fifth day and giving the Giants a quality start. However, Zito's tenure with the Giants has been a disaster. His ERA with Giants has ballooned upwards of 5 as Zito has not come close to looking like a top flight starting pitcher. His velocity and co...

Browse more photos » There have been a few games in which Barry Zito pitched eight innings for the Giants. Most of them were only barely impressive -- there were a lot of high-walk/low-hit games mixed in, which probably had as much to do with good fortune as they did with good pitching. To...

A 95-mph fastball, an 89-mph change, a sharp curve, and proper grammar. Tim Lincecum is better than you.
