In his, much ballyhooed, spring training banter, Carlos Zambrano made the claim that he was going to win the Cy Young award this year and the Cubs would win the World Series. As it stands right now, it doesn’t look like either one of those is going to happen. Of course Zambrano could turn it around yet, but it looks like Rich Hill might be a better bet for NL Cy Young. Hill, through 22 innings has given up a grand total of one run. On a completely unrelated, and sad, note, Alfonso Soriano has only driven in one run all season. I digress. Rich Hill. I know that 3 games does not a season make, but his ERA is 0.41 after 3 games. When the guy who is supposed to be leading this rotation is getting bounced around, it’s good to see Hill stepping up and being a stopper. What’s not to like, he’s a tall, lanky lefty who is also a Michigan man. Go Blue! and Go Cubs.
