Editor's Note: Zambrano-Wood?

Chicago Cubs pitcher and sworn-enemy of all Gatorade dispensers Carlos Zambrano could be traded this season. And with a no-trade clause, he will be very hard to move. But have no fear, Dodger fans. Hollywood is one of the two destinations Big Z would like to go. In an article from the Chicago Tribune, Zambrano jokingly responded to a poll which said 57% of Cubs fans want him gone by saying "Fine, trade me to Boston". The slugging pitcher is one of the more colorful characters on the Chicago lineup, and that includes Milton Bradley and Lou Piniella. He has a penchant for destroying Gatorade jugs, getting thrown out of games, and blowing his top after giving up a hit. But the Dodgers should seriously consider him. He's an ace-pitcher who could even pinch-hit. A complete package that's just waiting for someone to pick him up. And the problems he causes for his team, like joking about a trade, sound eerily similar to talks from last year. A team becomes frustrated by a player's antics, so fed up that they could trade him. Sound familiar? LA could seriously look into a Manny-esque deal to land Zambrano. They just need to get the wheels turning.
