Why Zito Shouldn't Be No. 1
In four starts this year, Barry Zito has already seen Brad Penny, Ben Sheets, and Brandon Webb. While Zito hasn't exactly been at his best, the Giants have scored a grand total of three runs in his starts. If he keeps getting these mis-matches, he might lose 20 games. In a pitching-stacked division, the Giants would be much better served pitching Matt Cain, who is much more capable of dominating opposing lineups. Of course, with Cain's luck, he might lose 25.

I hadn't actually considered the fact that he always has to go up against the best. I think a rotation like this might make more sense:
Tim Lincecum
Matt Cain
Barry Zito
Jonathan Sanchez
Kevin Correia
