I understand what your point was because I have him projected as a 2.5- 3 win pitcher myself. I too have no doubt that Marquis is a better pitcher than Washburn or Davis. That said, I think that difference might be slightly overstated. In my opinion, as you mentioned, Marquis is only worth considering on a 2/14 or 3/21 contract. Anything over that and I think your overpaying. Harrison - I should have clarified when I mentioned paying Lackey his money, that the length of the contract should be no longer than 4 years. I'd prefer to sign him for 3 but I understand that's unrealistic, as it will probably even take 5 years to get the deal done. Also, just to clarify, there's no way I'd personally go above $15 million/year for him. It just gets too risky in my opinion. On another note, how much easier would this be if the M's just would have signed Rich Harden?! Sorry Griffin I didn’t mean to imply you were saying Marquis is a 2 win pitcher.
