Whats wrong with Zito?

San Francisco Giants "ace" pitcher Barry Zito is continuing to struggle in his second year with the team. This is something that is definitely a head scratcher as Zito was almost always on point in his days with the Oakland Athletics. Some argue its the money, but I don't buy that, players may slack off after a big contract but they don't completely lose their talent. So the question is, what is wrong with Zito?

his fastball is in the low 80's and his curve ball just doesn't have the sharp drop it used to have. That is the problem. I wouldn't feel bad for him, he's worth 150M.
