yendiI shared this on Google Reader yesterday, but it's worth noting here, too:
Pretty much every expert at the time said that Barry Zito was an awful, awful signing (Ken Davidoff and Ben Shpigel excluded).
Just something to remember as the off-season hype machine ramps up for the latest group Scott Boras free-agents.
(Also, can you imagine if the Phillies had gone ahead and traded Utley for Zito back in '06? No Mets collapse could have gotten an Utley-free team into the playoffs in 2007 or 2008.)
