I'll post more on Marquis when this is official.
Update: MLB+ percent28FOXSports.com+fresh, unique, original,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], unusual, novel,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], modern, current, recents+for+MLB percent29&utm_content=Google+Reader">Fox tells it's two years. If true,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that's good. Lincecum would have thought Marquis would get bided more than that from someone. Fox and MASN is both telling it's not really final yet,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so brace yourself for the possibility that this is a negotiating ploy by Marquis's agent.
Update: Buster Olney tells two years and USD15 million. That's not overpaying. I'm really pretty shocked Marquis went for it. I'm pleased. The Giants asked Lincecum not to throw the bullpen sessions typical of other pitchers during the off season. Manager Bruce Bochy told the San Francisco Chronicle that they were being careful with Lincecum because there have been studies that show that pitchers who throw 200 innings early in their career were more susceptible to injuries.
But don't read too much into the headline though. Depending on the cycles, Marquis is one of the guys the Nationals needed to bring in to provide some stability in the rotation.
Personally, Lincecum would have shied away from Marquis because he's coming off a career year, and you tend to get bitten badly when you sign free agents coming off career years.
Lincecum was selected by the Chicago Cubs in the 48 round of the 2003 MLB Draft; however he did not sign up for the team. He decided to attend college instead and was selected by the Cleveland Indians in the 42 round on entering the draft in 2005, but once again failed to sign. In 2004, he was drafted tenth overall by the San Francisco Giants becoming the first player from the University of Washington to be taken in the first round. He signed for a 2.025 million dollars signing award on June 30, which at the time was the highest amount the organization had ever paid to any amateur player until they gave 2.1 million dollars to Angel Villalona a little over a month later. Heh. Lincecum love that line. Hat tip to GROTA.
My "veteran balancer" target list included led with Carl Pavano, Jon Garland,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Braden Looper,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Joel Piniero, and Jarrod Washburn, but Marquis fits in fine with those guys-few Ks,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but few walks, and plenty of groundballs. Assuming, again,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], that they aren't going crazy on the contract,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], especially the years,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], this fits with my hopes for the off-season.
