    Get ready for WORLD WAR Z.

    The Phillies have officially announced the signing of Carlos Zambrano to a minor league deal. He will report to extended Spring Training in Clearwater, Fla. Zambrano is represented by Praver/Shapiro, as shown in MLBTR’s Agency Database.

    The 31-year-old Zambrano had previously agreed to a contract with the Long Island Ducks of the Atlantic League but never signed the contract as he continued to look for employment with a Major League team.

    Camp, who turned 37 on Sunday, is the ninth Cubs pitcher to reach 80 appearances, and first since Sean Marshall did so in 2010.

    Wow, you have to go back two whole years to find such a superhuman feat.

    He finished tied for the Major League lead in appearances and ranked fifth in the National League with 77 2/3 innings.

    The limitations on pitcher workload were good in the beginning, but then they went too far.

    In other Cubs news, Bryan LaHair was DFA'd and thought to be heading to Japan. How many guys have only one year of significant playing time, get selected (however dubiously) as an All-Star and then are out of the majors after that?

    And they traded the guy that they got from the Rangers for Geovany Soto back to Texas for former first-round draft pick Barret Loux (picked by Arizona in '09 but didn't sign after he was revealed to be damaged goods in a physical).

    Nick Struck was left unprotected? He seems a higher risk of being lost in the Rule 5 than McNutt.

    Ken Harvey had two full seasons of mediocre play, in the second of which he was an All-Star, and played 12 more games after that.

    Junior Spivey was an All-Star in his only season as a starter, but played three partial seasons after that.

    Dave Nilsson played several years, and was finally an All-Star at age 29, and then went to Japan never to return.

    Looking back on these old All-Star games, 1999 stands out for a peculiar profusion of hitters I never thought were stars in the least. Alex Gonzalez? Ed Sprague? Nilsson? Ron Coomer? Jose Offerman? Brian Jordan? John Jaha? Jay Bell and Jeromy Burnitz were stars, but this year they were in the starting lineup?

    LaHair is a Hawk now. He signed a 2 year 4.5 million dollar deal to play in Japan.

    Really? Huh.

    Didn't Nilsson leave so he could play for Australia's baseball team in the Sydney Olympics or something like that? Its seems hard to believe he couldn't get a Major League job after his '99 season.
