January 5, 201214 yr Author Funny, but no one griped about Zambrano's attitude when he was the Cubs' workhorse. I wasn't ready to give up on him, but dumping that much salary isn't a bad thing. They're only dumping about $3 million.
January 5, 201214 yr The Marlins have a potentially toxic clubhouse now with Zambrano, Ramirez and Guillen.
January 5, 201214 yr They're only dumping about $3 million.:thumb: :thumb: But, they will have to pay Volstad somehow. I bet he gets around $2.5M in arbitration. So at best they save $500,000. I'd hardly call that a salary dump.
January 5, 201214 yr The Marlins have a potentially toxic clubhouse now with Zambrano, Ramirez and Guillen.As of now barring any moves here is the new team: C John Buck 1B Gaby Sanchez 2B Omar Infante 3B Hanley Ramirez SS Jose Reyes LF Logan Morrison CF Emilio Bonifacio RF Mike Stanton B Greg Dobbs B Donnie Murphy B Chris Coghlan B Bryan Petersen B Brett Hayes SP Josh Johnson SP Mark Buerhle SP Ricky Nolasco SP Anibal Sanchez SP Carlos Zambrano RP Heath Bell RP Edward Mujica RP Randy Choate RP Ryan Webb RP Mike Dunn RP Steve Cishek RP Jose Ceda With the future of the player formerly known as Leo Nunez still up in the air. I think I can live with the potential for toxicity
January 5, 201214 yr Z and Ozzie are a sportswriter's dream.:lol: :lol: The Marlins should be the front-runners to appear on Showtime's The Franchise.

Getting rid of a team cancer can sometimes be priceless. Volstad will at least be under team control for a few years. Z was gone after this year, so we at least got someone to throw the ball while we rebuild.
January 5, 201214 yr Funny, but no one griped about Zambrano's attitude when he was the Cubs' workhorse. I wasn't ready to give up on him, but dumping that much salary isn't a bad thing. When he was winning, the attitude showing was less frequent. Now that he's lost some of his stuff, he's lost more of his mind. Good riddance.
January 5, 201214 yr They're only dumping about $3 million.Didn't see that at first ... I don't like the deal, paying $15 million for a slot that is now Volstad.
