	ESPN - Zito passes physical, making $126 million deal official - MLB
		Barry Zito's reported deal of seven years and $126 million with the Giants would tie Vernon Wells' new deal as the sixth richest in the history of the sport.
		Zito said that if he'd been weighing identical offers from the Giants, New York Mets, Texas and Seattle, he still likely would have chosen San Francisco based primarily on his comfort level with the area.
		Zito is determined to become a better hitter considering his at-bats will be far greater in the National League.

	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Barry Zito
		Zito is entering the last year of his current contract in 2006 and Billy Beane, the general manager of the Athletics, has stated that the organization will not be able to afford to re-sign Zito.
		Barry likes to say he had three “moms.” There was Roberta, of course, but also two much-older sisters, Sally (already nine when he was born) and Bonnie (13 years his senior).
		Barry was beaten in his first two August starts, but was perfect the rest of the way, winning eight straight to finish 23-5.

	Barry Zito : MLB Legends (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Zito lost some of that killer instinct, but it was more likely a case of hitters finding a way to survive off of him when they’re behind in the count.
		Zito has one of the biggest, sharpest and most dominant curveballs in the game, and even if a batter is expecting it, he’ll struggle to put a bat on it.
		Zito will just be beginning to enter his prime, as he’ll turn 26 early in the season, and should he make the adjustments to put him back on track with his 2002 season, the A’s pitching staff will be one of the most dominant in baseball.

	Bay City Ball › PITCHf/x: Examining Barry Zito’s 2007 Season
		Zito was getting close to that dreaded 11% mark in ‘06 and while he did lower his BB% 0.7% in ‘07 with the Giants, the league switch had to play into that some.
		Zito didn’t have to face a DH in the NL and it was his first time through the league.
		It’s going to be up to Barry Zito on how well he pitches in ‘08 but if his future depends on him becoming more of a control pitcher, at least with his fastball, I’m not sure that’s going to be a very bright future, given his mediocre control over his career.

		Texas drafted Zito in 1998 in the third round, but Zito decided to stay in school, banking that his knee-buckling curveball, fastball, change-up arsenal would eventually merit first-round status.
		Since Zito hit the big leagues three years ago, the 25-year-old lefty sensation has made many hitters sick to their stomachs.
		Zito overcame a rocky 6-7 start in 2001, going an amazing 11-1 with a 1.32 ERA in his last 13 starts.

	Breaking down Barry Zito - Jonah Freedman - SI.com
		With Zito's fastball lingering in the low 80s, and his curve not locating as well as it used to, that's a giant hole he's digging for himself.
		For a pitcher like Zito who, over his career has largely been able to keep batted balls in the infield, that was an enormous boon: According to Hardball Times, the percentage of fly balls hit off him that stayed in the infield hovered between 13 and 19 percent from '04 to '06.
		Zito's percentage of infield flies was less than nine percent in '07, and around 11 percent this season.

		A 20-year-old Barry Zito was dominating the Bourne Braves, with 11 strikeouts through six innings of a 6-0 series clincher.
		Zito's Cy season came courtesy of a career year -- 23-5, an ERA nearly two runs below the league average, just 182 hits allowed in 229 1/3 innings.
		Zito's six innings were interspersed with hard-hit singles, deep fly balls and a hit batsmen, but also with six strikeouts, none more punctuating than when Edgar Renteria flailed at an 0-2 curveball in the dirt he couldn't have hit with an oar.

	Pitching Mechanics Analysis - Barry Zito
		The thing to notice is how Barry Zito's elbow is up at the level of his shoulders and his forearm is hanging down vertically beneath it.
		Another indication that Barry Zito has a timing problem, and is rushing his throws, is that he leaves the ball up and out of the strike zone in the clip above.
		I also think Barry Zito's timing problem may get worse as he tries to deal with the problem by adopting some of the ideas of Momentum Pitching and tries to get more power from his stride.

		Zito started 34 or 35 games in each of the last six seasons, and his ERA has been well below the league average in five of those six.
		Zito would be the best or second-best starter on a fair number of teams.
		While it`s clear what Zito was thinking--stay in the Bay Area while still making lots of money--it`s less obvious what the Giants were trying to accomplish by adorning their aging roster with this good but hardly destiny-altering pitcher.
