Zambrano thinks move to bullpen is only temporary

Not quite thrilled about relieving, Carlos Zambrano says he'll do whatever the Chicago Cubs ask.

Zambrano still sees himself as a starter and believes he'll soon be back in the rotation after the team acquires a setup man for Carlos Marmol.

He says he's "not happy, happy about this decision, but I feel good. I feel good about helping my team."

Tired of watching his relievers blow games, manager Lou Piniella made a bold decision last week when he moved his temperamental ace to the bullpen.

Zambrano made his first relief appearance in almost eight years in Saturday's 5-1 win at Milwaukee when he allowed one run in 1 1/3 innings and got a loud ovation from a large contingent of Cubs fans. He declined to talk to the media after that game.
