Note: Zito sent to the Bullpen
The Giants have demoted Barry Zito to the bullpen, as was 
first reported by ESPN’s Buster Olney yesterday afternoon.
Zito signed a $126 million, seven-year contract with the Giants following the 2006 season.
He is 0–6 with a 7.53 ERA in six starts for the Giants this season.
…wow, was i wrong on this guy…i was really in favor of the Mets signing zito back when he was a free agent, mostly because i never anticipated the Mets ever having a chance to acquire a pitcher like Carlos Zambrano or Roy Oswalt or Johan Santana via trade…thankfully, i was wrong on all accounts…more important, thankfully omar was right…he clearly chose wisely…
Zito started his career 47–17, but is just 66–65 since 2003.

…on a separate note, i always wonder if a guy like Billy Wagner, or a guy like Jeff Nelson, men who have had quite prolific careers as relief pitchers, do they find it insulting when we say it is a ‘demotion’ because a guy is ‘sent to’ the bullpen…
