Carlos Zambrano is healthy and wants to pitch next year, according to his agent. Zambrano will pitch in Venezuelan winter ball in hopes of landing a contract offer. He faces long odds. Temperamental out-of-shape pitchers in their 30s coming off a year in which they didn't pitch in the majors don't generally fare the best on the open market, especially if that specific pitcher posted a 4.66 ERA over the two preceding years and were released by a pitching-needy team (the Phillies axed "Z" from the Triple-A Lehigh Valley roster in July).
