I definitely agree that Rothschild deserves kudos for Marquis' performance, even if all he gave to Marquis was confidence. That said, part of me still believes that the other shoe will drop, be it from more homers on those warm summer days or whatever. But I firmly believed he was unnecessary and therefore a bad signing through spring training. On this count I was very wrong as Marquis has pitched brilliantly, especially when we've needed him most. Here's to his keeping it up. PS I didn't realize how much of a New Yorker Marquis is. Apparently he's from Staten Island, and you can really tell. I recall reading that Larry did find a flaw in his delivery, and was able to correct it during their off-season workout together. I mean Hendry wouldn't have signed the guy without Rothschild's recommendation methinks...
