    I heard that Les Walrond has looked good in spring training thus far. Can't wait to see (listen to) Rocky pitch since he's now on the 40-man. 1.5 hours to go!! Imagine another tough decision for Lou? I love it when they have tough decisions like this over oh God, who can we put here that won't kill us. :lol:

    Can only mods change thread titles?

    6/52 Official.

    Houston also kicks in WIllie Tavares. Giving $ for Marquis doesn't look so bad in comparison. Why couldn't he have accepted cupons?
  5. killthegoat06
    I bet the Padres sign him I do too. Hendry is taking a huge gamble with DeRosa. I hope he pans out. I say Mets.
  6. killthegoat06
    When are they suposed to be official?
  7. killthegoat06
    Fixed. At first when I heard about Marquis, I was pissed. I still am not happy because there are better options out there, but if Prior and Hill turn out good we'd have a pretty good rotation with two pitchers hitting in the 8 slot. Hopefully by not trading away young arms Hendry will trade bullpen/prospects for another big bat. If he can do this, can sign a power pinch hitter, and the Astros and Cardinals don't improve too much, we should be favorites in the division.

    So if Prior and Miller are healthy which of Miller, Lilly, Marquis gets DFA'd? Or does Hill get sent to AAA???

    Marquis's main value is durability. He's a 28 year old who has made 30+ starts and 190+ innings in each of the past three seasons, with a career ERA+ of 94. To compare: - 28 year old Gil Meche has a career ERA+ of 96, has never reached 190 innings (he did hit 186 innings twice), and receives 5/55 - 29 year old Adam Eaton has a career ERA+ of 92, has reached 190 innings once, and receives 3/25. - 30 year old Ted Lilly has a career ERA+ of 99, has reached 190 innings once in the past three years, and receives 4/40. Seems in line with the overall market for starters, inflated as it may be. It seems that Hendry had a focus of going after durable starting pitchers this offseason. This has to be a reflection that, aside from Hill, he no longer trusts the farm system to produce quality starting pitching like it did during the late-90s/early-00s. It's hard to disagree with this general track: it's worth ~$20M/year to get two average starting pitchers to contribute ~200 innings each, when the alternative could be repeat performances from Mateo, Marmol, or Ryu. Who cares if they're consistent if they're consistently bad? At least with Lilly there was hope of a good season or two. I don't see that from Marquis. Only one Cubs starter threw over 125 innings last year. redarndiculous. I still don't understand how there aren't better options than Marquis. We should change the thread title.

    Somebody should edit thread name.
  12. killthegoat06
    Wow this is the worst news since October 2003. I am not even kidding. 3/20 for 6plus ERA? Hendry, why are you obsessed with a team that you keep making worse?

    who cares about how many games he won? He's a good pitcher, better than Lilly and better than Meche. Don't forget Marquis. Meche, Lilly > Marquis. That is, unless we're signing Marquis to be a pinch hitter.
  18. killthegoat06
    I'm going to lose it if we end up with Marquis, he sucks! This is ridiculous please for the sake of all Cubs fans NO!! Z Lilly Hill Marquis Prior/Miller/Marshall/Guzman This should be fun.
  19. killthegoat06
    No way in hell.
