Carlos Zambrano has been very inconsistent over the last couple years, and a lot of Cubs fans are hoping that he will be able to shake that and be a consistent pitcher this year. There are a few main factors that will decide whether or not he'll be able to be that consistent guy for the Cubs.
1. Health
If Zambrano can stay healthy, he will be able to number 1, stay on the field, and number 2, not have lingering issues throughout the season even when he is on the mound.
2. Attitude
I know I've already said some things about the Cubs needing to keep their attitudes in check, but no one needs to control themselves more than Carlos Zambrano. As a pitcher who plays with a lot of emotion, if he gets mad he gets a lot more likely to try to force things, and that's when wild pitches and hanging pitches happen.
I think Carlos could come in and have a very good season...he just really needs those two factors to happen in order for a good year.
Thoughts?

ReplyDeleteI think Zambrano's attitude will play a big part in his production this year as well.
ReplyDeleteIf he can just keep himself in check, then he can be a much more effective pitcher. That goes for any player, you just don't normally play your best game when your mad, that's just a fact.
