Jason Marquis = Mayonegg

This guy is in front of Mark Prior and Rich Hill in the Cubs' starting rotation.

I'm going back to sleep.

Update: Okay I woke up and ESPN is still telling me that the Cubs signed Marquis, either for three years and $20 million (bad), or three years and $28 million (Rey Ordonez being on your roster bad). Either way he's probably going to make more than Zambrano does.

Here are Marquis' HR/9 and K/9 over the last four years

2003: 0.66, 4.20
2004: 1.26, 6.17
2005: 1.26, 4.35
2006: 1.62, 4.45

Career WHIP of 1.43 and ERA+ of 94. Baseball Reference's similar pitchers: Gil Meche (4), Adam Eaton (6), Ted Lilly (9). Last year Jason Marquis was unquestionablyarguably the worst full-time starter in the majors (Joel Piniero was worse but spent some time in the bullpen). Opposing batters hit .289/.364/.509(!) against him, and only Jeff Weaver and Carlos Silva allowed worse OPS averages.

The Cubs have given a pitcher regularly mentioned in the same breath as Jeff Weaver and Carlos Silva $9+ million a year.

This is unbelievable. I honestly, honestly cannot believe this signing. Speechless. Just speechless.

Between this and J.D. Drew's ridiculous Red Sox contract, it's been a great offseason to point and laugh at former players I hate going to teams I hate.

Over at MLBTradeRumors, it was assumed that Marquis would get something like $3 million a year anywhere he went.

Also the ESPN article mentions that "the 26-year-old Marquis went 14-16 for the St. Louis Cardinals in 2006 with a 6.02 ERA." He's actually 28.

I was totally on the Jason Marquis hatewagon. But maybe the Cubs made a good move? By that, I mean check it out his stats. Last year, bleh, definitely. But look at 2004 gamelogs and stats. He's a groundball pitcher with a great sinker. He had a 2.14 gb/fb ratio, which if he could return to he'd be a great addition. Keep an eye on the sinker. If it stops moving, he's BP.
