 Carlos Zambrano - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zambrano finished the season sixth in the National League in strikeouts (202), tenth in earned run average (3.26), and third in winning percentage (70%, with a record of 14-6), seventh in WHIP (1.15), tenth in strikeouts per nine innings (8.14), and ninth in innings pitched (223 1/3).
Zambrano's ERA of 3.41, while quite good in any circumstance, was inflated by a couple of quick exits in the beginning of the season and a somewhat less effective final few starts, possibly due to running up relatively high pitch counts throughout the season.
Zambrano finished the season with six home runs as a batter, the most by a pitcher in a season since Mike Hampton of the Colorado Rockies hit seven in 2001, and not far from the all-time mark of nine (excluding Babe Ruth), set by Wes Ferrell in 1931.

 Carlos Zambrano Fantasy Prospect Profile
He capped the season by doing well in the playoffs and showed that the long haul never wore him down.
Zambrano is a power pitcher who uses a mid-90s fastball (both two- and four-seam) and curve as his top two pitches with a developing changeup and a slider; the slider is the less developed of the two.
If he can master just one of these and improve his curve a bit, he will be a No. 1 starter.
