Carlos Zambrano Honored with Third Silver Slugger Award
The Chicago Cubs may not have had the best season, but here is one good thing to come from it. For his second consecutive year, Carlos Zambrano has won the NL Silver Slugger award for the Pitching Position. Zambrano also won the award in 2006.
The award is presented to the best offensive player at each position in the AL and NL, determined by MLB coaches and managers. Chicago Breaking Sports points out that “Zambrano led major-league pitchers last season with four home runs and nine extra-base hits.” Not to mention, Zambrano is always a crowd favorite when he steps up to the plate.
He is one of only three Cubs players to receive the award at least three times. The other two are Ryne Sandberg, for second base, and Sammy Sosa, for Outfield. Zambrano has been the only pitcher to receive the award while pitching for the Cubs.
