Not only is Carlos Zambrano off to a great start on the mound, but he's also one of the Cubs best hitters. The Cubs held off a late rally by the Padres to take a 7-6 win, send Zambrano's record to 8-1 with a 2.51 ERA. Carlos also picked up three hits, including a triple to raise his batting average to .366 (that's his OBA also) and his slugging percentage to .537. That's very close to Ramirez (.538) and Soriano (.544). Carlos is hitting 125 points better than batters are against him, and is in that rare air of having a higher batting average (times 10) than ERA.

what do you mean "times 10"? It sounds like you're saying his BA is 10 times higher than his ERA, which can't be true.
I mean if you multiply his batting average times 10 (.336 *10 = 3.36), it's higher than his ERA.
