		Zambrano tied for the team lead in victories in 2002 with eight and led the team in victories in 2003 with 12.
		Zambrano is the right guy for the Devil Rays because he might be their one starter who won't be rattled by an opening start against the Yankees in front of the world.
		Zambrano's hard work was impressive but there was always one thing that told Hernandez and the Rays that he might be something special: the movement on his pitches.

	The Victor Zambrano Award -- The Hardball Times
		With his first two games scheduled to be against Mike Mussina and the Yankees, I don't think anyone expected Victor Zambrano to sport a 2-0 record on April 8.
		The first (and until Zambrano, the only) AL pitcher to lead his league in walks, hit batsmen, and wild pitches was Cleveland's George Uhle, in 1926.
		As for Victor Zambrano, he wasn't all that bad in 2003, wildness notwithstanding.

		Zambrano seemed stunned at the comparision, saying it was pretty exciting and felt good to hear his name mentioned alongside that of the 300-game winner.
		Zambrano struggled a bit with his control early, not throwing a first-pitch strike until facing his ninth batter of the game, but refused to falter.
		Victor Zambrano was certainly that on a night the Mets pummeled Cubs starter Carlos Zambrano early, scoring four runs off the Cubs sinkerballer in three innings, and short-circuiting the duel between the like-named pitchers.

		Zambrano is going to keep his spot because of the fact that he was traded for Scott Kazmir which means that Ishii would be the guy to go if the Mets decide to make a change.
		Victor Zambrano pitched in and out of trouble tonight as he allowed 2 ER in 5 IP and he picked up the loss despite a decent effort.
		Victor Zambrano and Kazuhisa Ishii are going to tax the bullpen much like Leiter did last year for this team unless they improve their control and neither has shown that they are making progress with that particular issue.

		Zambrano has been throwing in Venezuela and was even toying with the idea of pitching in the Winter League playoffs next week,, but after agreeing to a one-year $2.1 million contract on Monday, it's a plan he won't be implementing.
		Zambrano walked off the mound in obvious discomfort having thrown only 14 innings as a Met, which raised more than few eyebrows considering New York dealt away top pitching prospect Scott Kazmir to get him.
		Zambrano suffered a slight tear in the flexor muscle, a problem that stemmed back to his time in Tampa Bay, and didn't get back on the mound until he was through rehabbing in October.

		Victor doesn't have the "IT" factor that would ever make him a #1 starter but is a viable #3 pitcher without a doubt.
		Zambrano had a very strong stretch of something like 12 straight starts in which he gave up 3 earned runs or less.
		I don't know if Zambrano is ever going to put it all together for an entire season the way he did for that mid-season stretch this year, but he's a quality middle-of-the-rotation arm.

		Victor Zambrano appeared to spark the fuse to his own demolition last night in the fourth inning, spoiling what should have been a routine double play by one-hopping a throw that Jose Reyes couldn't handle.
		It was nearly identical to Zambrano's blunder a week earlier, when he flung a wild throw past third base that cost the Mets dearly in a loss to the Braves.
		Zambrano has been fighting for respect ever since the Mets shipped Scott Kazmir to Tampa Bay for him last July, and lately, his starts had been pushed back whenever the rotation needed an adjustment.

		I would love for zambrano to be sent down and never see him again...but then that would make the infamous trade a complete failure.

		Victor Zambrano held Atlanta to three runs - one earned - over six innings Friday, but even that one run would have been enough to doom the Mets to a series sweep.
		Two of the three runs off Zambrano came on a throwing error in the sixth inning, when the righthander fired wide of the third base bag on a potential force play, whipping a Pete Orr dribbler past the reach of David Wright.

		Zambrano turned in his longest – and perhaps his best - performance as a Met, firing eight innings and limiting the Arizona Diamondbacks to a run and five hits in a 2-1 New York victory.
		Zambrano always seemed to pitch well against the interlocking 'NY', but now that he wears one of his own (albeit in different colors), Randolph continues to show faith that those top-notch performances will come closer and closer together.
		Much has been made of last July's trade that sent top pitching prospect Scott Kazmir to the Devil Rays for Zambrano and reliever Bartolome Fortunato; while Kazmir struggles to prove he is ready for the major leagues, the already-established Zambrano is focused upon developing into an even better big league hurler.
