Barry Zito and Jason Schmidt: Rumor has it that the Dodgers drove up the asking price of Barry Zito by attempting to sign him and then giving Jason Schmitt his insane contract. Once they realized that instead of signing a left handed, past his prime, 30 year old pitcher with a declining fastball, they could actually sign a RIGHT handed 36 year old starting pitcher with a declining fastball for nearly the same per year average, the Dodgers leapt at the opportunity. Schmitt has pitched 6 games in a year and a half, lost 4 of them, and still has a freakish giant baby head on a skinny man’s body, and that’s not even what he’s on the DL for. Zito has gone a combined 13-34 since signing his contract and pitches like he should be on the DL. I stay awake at night and yearn for the chance to sign both of them again, but there can be only one overpaid mediocre starting pitcher on the Dodgers, “Highlander”.
