I may be accused of bias, but I'd rather have Zambrano. I'm not sold on Willis keeping it up over the next few years. Right now, I'm not sure it's really close. Zambrano's consistency of stellar pitching and his ability to work gives him a solid edge, IMO. If Willis bounces back next year, maybe there's a case, but his stuff isn't on par with Z's, and if hitters start seeing the ball better, as they have this year, then Willis just won't be effective unless he makes big changes.
