Glad he never got to the bigs with them - it would have sucked to see him kill us.

Completely forgot that the Cardinals had picked him up. I feel bad for Matt. His career went down the toilet quickly.

I wouldn't mind the Cubs taking a chance with Clement IN THE OFFSEASON. I mean they've done it recent and to different levels of success. Again, in the offseason it wouldn't surprise me if Hendry makes a low risk offer to Clement.

would anyone here be in favor of a straight substitution of marquis for clement?

Yep. 2004 Clement and I'm okay with that decision. Otherwise, not worth it at all. He's been terrible since he left the Cubs.

if clement cant even make stl's patchwork rotation, what makes you think he could beat out marquis

the only reason that i brought that up is that the cubs have had some success with reclaimation projects. fox and wade (i think, correct me if i'm wrong) were busts. dempster was a hit. lieber (when he actually got the chance to pitch) is so-so. i'm not saying that clement would be a solid 3 guy like he was years ago, but at this point could anyone really be as bad as marquis now?

 

having not paid attention to st. louis this season, was this more of a release because we have no options release, release because you suck release, or a hideo nomo situation? if it's a nomo case, he did do well after he left iowa. its a low risk move should the cubs bring him in.

Marquis has a 96 ERA+. League average for SP is something like 95. He's been fine for a fifth starter.

 

Clement hasn't pitched in the majors since 2006. He had a 72 ERA+ in 65 1/3 innings. He sucks, he's done. He had a 4.61 ERA in AAA this year, the same as Jason Marquis' major league ERA.

fox and wade (i think, correct me if i'm wrong) were busts.

You're right if you were intending to use his first name. Wade Miller.

Poor Clement, he's my favorite among the '03 rotation's Fab 4.

that line drive to the noggin more or less signaled the end of his usefulness

Just an FYI ... AVG popped up with a virus warning when I clicked over to that site ("HTML/Framer").

 

It could be a false positive, but better safe than sorry.
