Giants of Scottsdale

I don't think the question is if Giants starter Barry Zito is going to be successful again, it's when. Why not this year? Watching Zito in the clubhouse and pitch to live hitters Sunday, his focus is hard to ignore. The guy is in town to work and he seems happy. That's exactly what you are looking for if you are a Giants fan. A happy and comfortable Zito is a productive Zito. Zito is gifted and like many talented athletes (or gifted people, in general) he is sensitive to his surroundings and always aware of what is going on around him. His mind is always working. So is his spirit.  I really believe Zito is trying to find the balance between utilizing his gift and functioning in a crazy world where things don't always make sense. This could be his year. Why not? He sure looks ready and it's only February.
