Two interesting things on Ken Davidoffs twitter

"Ken Davidoff of New York Newsday reports that the Mets are interested in free agent right-hander Jason Marquis.
Davidoff writes that the Mets view him as a replacement for Chris Capuano, who is aiming for a multi-year contract this winter. Marquis, 33, posted a 4.43 ERA over 23 starts this season between the Nationals and Diamondbacks before he suffered a fractured right fibula in mid-August. It could be a good fit, as the Staten Island native will likely look for a one-year deal in hopes of reestablishing his value and hitting the free agent market again next offseason."

"Omar Minaya could join a team by the #MLB winter meetings next month. #Mets would be relieved of $ from Minaya's new salary."

So Jason Marquis is Capuano 2.0 and Omarwatch 2011 is on

Not a big Marquis fan, but he's an upgrade over Gee

Heyman says that the Mets will tender Pelfrey and Pagan contracts which is no surprise.

That said, I'd prefer not to give Marquis 5+ mil

I’d like someone better maybe in a trade?

Marquis posted a 4.03 xFIP in 2011 and unlike Pelfrey, he actually gets GBs

I’d be fine with him if cheap

There is no hope.... there is no future....there is only GRISSIONZ

Fair point and he was fairly good the last season he was healthy all year in '09.

Considering 2012 is just going to be another gap year

There’s nothing wrong with throwing another 1 year contract out at Marquis

I'm not a Marquis fan but

if he’s cheap, I guess he’s not an awful pickup.

If it’s a one-year deal, and he isn’t expensive- both should fit, since he’s coming off of injury, and just isn’t a very good pitcher- no harm, no foul. If things break right, he could be traded to a contender later on in the season for a lower-end prospect or two.

At least we won't have to worry about them not being in synch?

Did this win a TYIB award?

It definitely should, IMO

by sj10689 on Nov 16, 2011 2:11 AM EST up reply actions

They renamed this award the GIBBY award (Greatness in Baseball Yearly award)

Why, I ask? The TWIB/TYIB name is a classic and distinctive one – GIBBY sounds dumb in comparison (and it suggests an absence of dubious honors)

I suppose the awards show is now referred to as “The GIBBYs”. It’s just lame. It would make a bad marketing tactic, seemingly trying to derive something from “The Emmys”.
