Anyone hear Cliff Floyd on MLB radio today? He told some stories about Z that I doubt anyone has heard. In 2007, when Floyd was with the Cubs, he said Z was a ticking time bomb almost every game that he pitched someone has to pull him aside and calm him down. 2007 was the year he decked Barrett. He also said that once he got his contract he stopped working out, stopped running, played on his laptop all day long (remember when he missed games because he had worn out his wrist playing video games).
MLB radio also said the Cubs paid Z the $2M+ he lost from his suspension last year. What a joke. Between that money, the money they have to pay Volstad and the $15M they paid the Marlins, the Cubs LOST money on the deal. They must of really wanted him out of town.
