I swear I heard this rumour--or fact--this past weekend.  Carlos Zambrano is to be involved in the All Star Game's Home Run Derby and not tossing those soft balls to potential champions.  Granted that boy can pitch and he can swing a mighty bat, as a switch hitter, but really?  Really?

I could be completely wrong, but I thought I'd heard that intimation either on Fox or ESPN.  I'm guessing there has never been a pitcher in the competition.  Has there?  But, boy would it be fun, wildly emotional, and certainly entertaining!

Is he the silver slugger?  Goodness!  Someone set me right!  Big Z?  Whadd'ya think?
