The Future Of Barry Zito: MLB Rumors - MLBTradeRumors.com:
Giants lefty Barry Zito has thrown 14 scoreless innings across two starts to begin his 2013 season. Why does this matter? As Tim Kawakami of the San Jose Mercury News notes, Zito will trigger an $18MM option for 2014 if he reaches 200 innings this season. Furthermore, Zito would have the option of taking a $3.5MM buyout and becoming a free agent instead.
When I mentioned this a week ago, I didn't give much thought to the idea of Zito reaching 200 innings -- he hasn't done it since his 2006 contract year with the A's. But now, he has 14 innings in the books for his first two starts. Here are his innings pitched per start numbers as a Giant:
2007: 5.93
2008: 5.63
2009: 5.82
2010: 6.01
2011: 5.52
2012: 5.76

Staked to a quick lead, Zito (2-0) won his 11th straight decision, including last postseason. San Francisco earned its 16th consecutive victory in games he started, the longest such unbeaten run by a Giants pitcher since 16 in a row by Carl Hubbell for New York in 1936, STATS said.
