Your point is well-taken, but the problem has not been confined to Baker...it is organization-wide.

Jon Lieber and Kerry Wood say hi.

Mark Prior would wave, but his arm would fall off.

We are. His arm angle has been out of whack this season, and I hope he's able to get it corrected. It's only a matter of time until Marquis and Lilly remember who they are, and that could spell trouble if Z doesn't turn it around.

I suspect his arm angle is out of whack because of a shoulder injury.

Anyone remember this post from Steverino?

I'd made a similar post early in the 2006 season, too, pointing out some of the emerging trends that worried me about Zambrano (a pitcher in general whom I really, really like). But for some reason it doesn't show up on the forum any more.

Mind you I am NOT claiming the honor of being right on the internet yet; it is early in 2007 and he may well be absolutely fine and end the season having his usual great year.

Or maybe not . . .
