Oakland roughs up Zito, Giants 23-8


Barry Zito's spring training debut didn't go exactly as he or the Giants had planned. The Oakland A's got to Zito early and often, to the tune of 8 runs on 7 hits, forcing the Giants to pull him without getting through the first inning.


Prior to the 2007 season, the Giants signed Zito to a 7-year $126M contract. He hasn't exactly lived up to that deal and if this outing is any sign of things to come, the Giants may be looking to unload that contract long before they had planned.
