i think that a pitcher we've signed to a sizeable three year deal is pretty much guaranteed to be on "a roster by all-star break", but that's just me. but anyway, you remind me of a sox fan. just be happy your team is leading the division. no need to critique ours. to tell you the truth, we're not all that concerned with our team being validated in the eyes of another team's fanbase, if you are, that's great. the brewers are off to a great start, kudos. Sorry I didn't mean Marquis would be off the cubs roster, the post was made for a fantasy forum and was just copy and pasted. I don't think Marquis will be worthy of being on a fantasy baseball roster come the all star break. Since they use smaller rosters that doesn't say much about whether he should be the #4 on a real roster. understood, and i wouldn't necessarily argue with that. but why are you so concerned about it? ah whatever, i have a lot of packer fan friends and they need something to get excited about, too.
