Gerald Laird hit a pair of two-run homers off the Cubs' Jason Marquis on Wednesday.

Not bad, but we're still waiting to see what he can do against a major league pitcher. Laird is batting .423 with four homers in 26 at-bats this spring.

Marquis got sloppy. Fastballs on hitter's counts? DUMB.

 

Marquis is better than that.

 

As a Cards fan I can tell you that you are gonna be saying that exact same quote all year long.

 

Get ready to miss the playoffs. :twisted:

Don't be so hesty... I think the Cards found a way to get there with the same pathetic Marquis on the roster. :wink:

are you saying he'll be good? then YES i do.

If I had a farm, I'd bet it on him not being anywhere near good.

Define good. Less than league average ERA? Absolutely.

Do we have to give odds? :)

Holy God, I don't care what they are, I want in. Marquis is pitching garbage...he may vary as to whether he's "tidy compacted garbage" or "rancid hot garbage," but you know what you're ultimately getting at the end of the day. His contract is a monstrosity of futility.

I was thinking ERA+. It's crude, but effective.
