What's the excuse this season? He was pretty awful last year, and was compared to Jon Garland. In fact, KW said they could have signed Garland, but had the same thing in Marquez. Not that Garland is stellar, in fact, maybe he is Garland considering Garland's start. At the same age, Garland had more major league innings than Marquez has innings.
I agree. To me he's a non-factor. I'm not expecting him to do anything for a couple years, and then he'll just be gone.
