Baseball Board Favorite Scott Kazmir

[Dogdeacon]

Traded to Houston. Guys got more lives than a cat, can't believe he's only 31.
Obligatory mention that the Mets definitely gave up on him too quick.

"As great a performer as Kazmir has been over the past two years, he probably would not have been in line for the kind of contract that, say, James Shields got last season, despite having been outstanding this year and very good last year. Kazmir’s size and lack of a long-term track record would have prevented that even if his pitching arm hadn’t previously been crushed, bought on a salvage title, rebuilt from the wheels up with a new drivetrain, styled by Pininfarina, and then reattached to his shoulder."

In their defense, the Mets did get Zambrano. Of course it was the wrong Zambrano, but still.

I remember seeing Kazmir in New Britain. He had like 10Ks through 6 innings but didnt come out for the 7th because of pitch count.
