I have been a Giants fan for over 35 years.

There is ZERO chance Barry Bonds is re-signing with this team. Never going to happen - WAY too much baggage.

As far as Zito here is pretty much the reaction of every Giants fan to the signing:

1. first day - We signed him - Great! We need an established pitcher to help the youngsters
2. second day - we paid him WHAT!?!?!?!?!?
3. third day - and no one else was offering even half that!?!?!?!?!?
4. fourth day - you know Sabean is an idiot.
5. first day of 2007 spring training - wow he doesn't look all that good - I am pretty sure I could hit that 82mph fastball
6. first day of 2007 season - uh, yeah
7. everyday since - you have got to be kidding me

Zito is the single most untradeable entity in sports right now. You couldn't find a single team that would take on his contract if you asked for nothing in return.

Barry Bonds is arguably the best FA signing in the history of the modern FA era, Zito is arguably the worst.

and the worst part of it all is he is just going to get worse and worse as his contract goes up. We are in the books for him until 2013!!!!!
