Where in the world is Victor Zambrano?
Beats me. He played for the Rockies last season, if you call 0-2 with an ERA over 10 playing. This season, he's been absent from the majors.
I do know that Scott Kazmir won his fourth straight start Monday night, striking out 10 in seven innings to lead the Tampa Bay Rays over the Texas Rangers, 7-3.
The win means the Rays (31-20) have the best record in baseball.
According to the Associated Press, the Rays are just the second team — joining the 1903 New York Giants — to have the best mark on Memorial Day after finishing with the worst record in the big leagues the previous season (66-96).
Kazmir, the Mets' first-round draft pick in 2002, was traded along with Jose Diaz to the then-Devil Rays in 2004 for Zambrano and Bartolome Fortunato.
For that matter, where in the world is Bartolome Fortunato?

But think of the salary they won't have to pay next year. They're freeing up money in case Easley and Valentin want to come back next year to battle Castillo for the 2B position.
Victor Zambrano is 0-6 with the Colorado Springs Sky Sox of the Pacific Coast League.
