Seriously now, wadding: Cubs signed Marquis to a 3/21 deal. He pitched 2 seasons for them and totaled 3.4 WAR. They paid him 13 mil and he was worth 20. Not bad for an innings eating 4th/5th starter. That's what Edwin Jackson was supposed to be.

He was "too expensive" for the last year of his deal so they shipped him to Colorado where, in the last year of that deal, he had a career year and was worth 3.4 WAR. That's a 21.4 mil value for a guy who was paid 8 mil.

He was exactly what he was supposed to be. Sometimes he was good, sometimes he was bad, but he took the hill every fifth day. Never put on the DL during that time. That's an ideal backend of the rotation starter.
