If my calculations are correct

Jason Marquis' ERA+ just peaked back over 100.

Good showing today, Marquis. Way to keep that rotation spot for another start

I'd prefer an upgrade but don't mind it when he goes out there thinking he's good and has a game like today.

Jason Marquis is nowhere near as bad as a lot of people on this forum make him out to be, and his numbers clearly show that. The thing is, for every start like the one today, it seems like he has a terrible start to match it. He's really good for a 2-3 starts, then really bad for 2-3 starts. And I guess the bad starts stand out more than the good ones. Someone can take the time to find out and correct me if I'm wrong, but I'd be pretty surprised if he's not the best 5th starter in baseball.

I think it's just the fact a lot of people didn't want him on the team to begin with and since he's been fairly average and not anything spectacular, people hate him.
