Barry Zito has been a disaster in San Francisco:

Last 3 years	Team	G	GS	W	L	SV	CG	SHO	IP	H	R	ER	HR	BB	K	ERA	WHIP	BAA

Mike Hampton has NEVER lived up to the hype, getting injured at a alarming rate:

2001	COL	32	32	14	13	0	2	1	203.0	236	138	122	31	85	122	5.41	1.58	.296

Kevin Brown could not even last the length of his contract, only pitched two years of it!

2003	LA	32	32	14	9	0	0	0	211.0	184	67	56	11	56	185	2.39	1.14	.236

2005	NYY	13	13	4	7	0	0	0	73.1	107	57	53	5	19	50	6.50	1.72	.341

Yankee Fans better watch out for what they get, because if CC Sabathia is the next $140 Million Man it does not mean it will translate into success from past history.

With all his weight problems and overuse (on short rest, ETC) , they could have another Kevin Brown on their hands....Alert ----->Meltdown!
