Jim Duquette's tenure as the Mets' GM is largely remembered for the trade of top pitching prospect Scott Kazmir to the Tampa Bay Devil Rays for the injury-prone and unproductive Victor Zambrano, which may have cost Duquette his job. As of 2007, Kazmir has appeared in an All Star game, while Zambrano did almost nothing for Mets, and is currently not active, having been released by Toronto.
