JZ ended the first half with a  5.87 ERA.  He gets his first start since July 7 tonight.
I just don't get it. Did Rizzo see this coming? I have a close friend who is a Tigers fan. He used to give me crap for us signing Max. When they signed JZ I told him that he would be really pleased as he was a competitor and wouldn't miss Max.
As I have posted ad nauseum here I always felt Rizzo knew that JZ wouldn't re-sign here and bought Max as an insurance policy. Probably sold the Lerners on that to get the deal approved. Probably not the primary reason but at least in the top five.
