Oh, Barry.

SF Giants LHP Barry Zito cleared waivers this morning, which means he can be traded (except his contract has a full no-trade clause, so I'm confused), sent down to the minors, tossed into a dumpster, or hired as the team chef-and-yoga-and-meditation consultant

The Astros' payroll is $13M. They could afford him, lol.

Z would have to approve the trade, if he were to be traded. I don't think he'd do that, so it's kind of a moot point on that front.

He costs too much to send down, really. Looks like they shouldn't have him pitch away from ATT.

I'm not surprised he cleared waivers -- he's got so many negatives and almost no upside.

And then he'd be in your backyard!

My backyard is not the place for left-handed flyball pitchers. Unfortunately.

Aww. My soft spot for Zeets, it is poked.

I still maintain that Barry and Tim must've swapped bodies or something last year, for some kind of a Freaky Friday-ish period. That, or got cursed that they could never be awesome at the same time as each other.

Best explanation I've heard!
