Have you spoken with Marshall at all about this? I'm sure he's not happy with what's likely to happen, but how's his attitude in general about it? Hopefully he's not taking an "I'm just an employee" attitude like Prior did. His attitude is good. He sees the situation and really isn't one to complain.
I assume no one is biting on marquis still? Have they gotten any offers for him at all that you know of? None to speak of. That radio talk today was nonsense.
Lieber and Dempster are either going to have to get injured or totally implode not to make this rotation. Marshall has minor-league options. They'll continue trying to trade Marquis.
