It might be time for Omar to call it a career.

 

His offensive numbers this year are shockingly low. There are probably a lot of pitchers hitting better than that. Maybe they can trade him to the Cardinals so TLR can bat him ninth and it will actually make sense.

If he goes to STL he will be an all-star again.

In case anyone cares, after Marquis' gem yesterday, his ERA is down to 4.44.

 

With Hill looming, I'd shop him around and take the best offer.

 

We can get league-average production for a lot less than ~7 million per year.

 

And most teams can't. I think Marquis may have some actual trade value. Maybe a B prospect.

 

A lot of teams can scrape some guy off the heap and have him perform at league average or slightly worse. I don't know what Marquis had on Hendry to get that contract.

 

As long as some team is dumb enough to take on Marquis's entire contract, I am not at all picky as to what we get back.

 

It's a lot easier to grab some scraps in theory than it is in practice. For every Kyle Lohse there's 10 Mike Maroths. League average pitchers who take the mound every 5 days have very real value.

 

The problem with the Marquis contract is that he wasn't coming off of a league average season. He was coming off an abysmal season and I find it hard to believe there was that much competition out there that he had to go 3/21 on him. I honestly am stunned that the contract has turned out to be a good deal.

Soto hasn't hit a HR in a while. Let's make it 10 runs to go along with Harden's 10 Ks.
