So now when you have a pitcher like Big Z, that gives Cubs skipper, Lou Piniella even more options. He can let him hit for himself late in a ball game or like tonight he can even if he wants to take him out of the game let him bat thereby saving another bench player for later in the game. Because Zambrano is also a switch hitter it gives Lou extra options on the days he isnt pitching to act as a pinch hitter. Zambrano after tonights game is a career .229 hitter with 13 home runs tied for the all time team lead for home runs by a pitcher with Ferguson Jenkins in 450 LESS at bats. Zambrano is hitting .343 for the season.
