Newsbreakers
October 15, 2009
After winning 15 games for the Rockies in 2009, Jason Marquis has apparently told former teammates that his offseason goal is to sign with the New York Mets, according to InsideTheRockies.com.
Our View:
This would seriously jeopardize Marquis' personal ten-year streak of pitching for playoff teams, but likely make the most sense financially. As a groundball pitcher, he should also fit in well in spacious Citi Field. Lastly, the Mets have expressed a desire for durable pitchers after their embarrassing 2009 injury woes, something Marquis has proven to be. As they say, where there's smoke, there's fire. Expect this to get done.
October 11, 2009
The Philadelphia Inquirer is reporting that Rockies' starting pitcher Jason Marquis will remain in the bullpen for the remainder of the series. Marquis could have started Game 4, but Game 1 starter Uboldo Jimenez will come back instead.
Our View:
We predicted Marquis' late-season meltdown for months, and now it is costing him in the postseason. The Rockies don't feel comfortable throwing him out there they was he has been going as of late, so the 2009 All-Star will continue to watch from the pen.
October 4, 2009
Jason Marquis finished the regular season with a four-inning performance where he allowed four runs on eight hits and two walks. He fell to 15-13 after a 5-3 loss to the Dodgers.
Our View:
Marquis looked like the Rockies best pitcher in the first half with 11 wins and a 3.65 ERA, but he imploded after the break going just 4-7 with an ERA nearly a full run higher. The way he finished down the stretch could keep him off the Rockies postseason roster.
September 29, 2009
Jason Marquis allowed just two runs on six hits and four walks over six innings on Tuesday, but did not factor in the decision as the Rockies topped the Brewers in extra innings.
Our View:
Marquis notched just his second quality start this month and is in danger of being left off the Rockies postseason roster. He's struggled mightily since the All Star break.
September 29, 2009
15-game winner Jason Marquis could be left out of Colorado's postseason rotation should they win the National League wild card, according to Fox Sports.
Our View:
Marquis is just 1-4 with a 5.48 ERA in his past seven starts, and has really faded since being named an All Star. As long as Aaron Cook stays healthy, there's a good chance he will be relegated to the bullpen for the postseason.
September 23, 2009
Jason Marquis was ineffective en route to his 12th loss on Wednesday. The sinker-baller walked five batters in just 4.2 innings, while allowing six runs, as the Rockies lost 6-3 to the Padres at home.
Our View:
Marquis has really faded since his hot start, going just 4-6 with a 4.46 ERA in 13 starts since the All-Star break.
September 13, 2009
Jason Marquis was not sharp on Sunday, as he allowed five runs on eight hits and four walks to the light-hitting Padres over just 5.2 innings. He was handed his 11th loss of the season as the Rockies fell 7-3.
Our View:
Marquis now has just one quality start in his last four outings. In the other three he allowed five runs in each and his season ERA is up to 3.78 as a result.
September 8, 2009
Jason Marquis pitched 7.1 dominant innings on Tuesday night, helping the Rockies dispatch the Reds 3-1 at home.
Our View:
Marquis is now 15-10 on the season, his most wins since he went 15-7 for the pennant winning St. Louis Cardinals in 2004.
September 3, 2009
Jason Marquis was hit with his 10th loss of the season on Thursday as the Rockies fell to the Mets 8-3. Marquis went five innings and allowed five runs on nine hits while walking two and striking out two.
Our View:
Marquis still has 14 wins this season, but he has struggled late in the season in his career. The Rockies need Marquis to pitch like he has all season if they are going to keep pace in the Wild Card race.
August 29, 2009
Jason Marquis' five runs in six innings were his most allowed in four starts, as he fell to 14-9 in the Rockies' 5-3 loss in San Francisco.
Our View:
The loss kept Marquis stuck one win behind his 2004 career high of 15 for the Cardinals.
August 19, 2009
Jason Marquis picked up another win on Wednesday as the Rockies held off the Nationals by a score of 5-4. Marquis went six innings and allowed three runs on nine hits while walking one and striking out one.
Our View:
Marquis continues to pick up wins, and it looks like his history of second-half scuffling is not holding true this season. Marquis has convinced us, and with the Rockies continuing to stay hot, he should be a very good play for the rest of the season.
August 13, 2009
Jason Marquis was sterling in picking up his 13th win on Thursday. The sinkerball throwing righty allowed just three Pirates hits (and one run) in seven innings, as the Rockies cruised to a 10-1 victory at home.
Our View:
Marquis had allowed fewer than three runs just once in his previous five starts coming into Thursday, much more indicative of the kind of pitcher he has been over his career (as opposed to the stifling league leader in wins he was earlier in 2009).
August 9, 2009
Jason Marquis did not have his best stuff on Saturday. The Rockies' hurler allowed five runs on eight hits and five walks over six innings in a 6-5 loss to the Cubs.
Our View:
Marquis was stuck with his eighth loss and the outing broke a string of six straight quality starts. He's still having a surprisingly brilliant 2009 campaign though. Continue to start him in all formats.
July 28, 2009
Jason Marquis was solid again on Tuesday, but his offense couldn't help him out as the Rokies fell to the Mets 4-0. Marquis went six innings and allowed three runs (two earned) on seven hits while walking one and striking out three.
Our View:
Marquis wasn't dominating tonight, but he was probably good enough to get a win most nights. He has shown no signs of slowing down after an All-Star caliber first half, but fantasy owners should still be a little cautious based on his career second half numbers. For now, he should still be viewed as the same guy that made the All-Star team for the National League.
July 22, 2009
According to the Denver Post, Jason Marquis start has been pushed back once again. He will now take his turn next Tuesday.
Our View:
He was slated to pitch against Matt Cain on Friday, but because of a blister on his pitching hand that has not yet healed he will be held back until Tuesday. Assuming that's enough time for it to heal, he will face the Mets in New York.
July 20, 2009
Jason Marquis' next turn in the rotation has been moved to Friday, according to the Denver Post.
Our View:
The Rockies moved him to Friday to keep him on a regular four-days rest. He swaps starts with Jason Hammel, who will now take the hill Saturday against the Giants. Marquis has been dealing with a blister on the middle finger of his throwing hand, but pitching coach Bob Apodaca expects him to be fine.
July 19, 2009
Jason Marquis didn't miss a beat over the All-Star break as he picked up his 12th win of the season against the Padres on Sunday. Marquis went eight innings and allowed one run on five hits while striking out three and not walking a batter.
Our View:
Marquis was an All-Star for a reason, and his 12 wins are even more impressive considering he pitches for the Rockies. Owners should keep in mind that Marquis has notoriously been a weak second half performer, but he looked solid today in his first start after the break.
July 16, 2009
Jason Marquis is not scheduled to pitch again for the Rockies until Sunday, according to MLB.com. After his selection to the All-Star team, the Rockies want him to pitch on full rest to start the second half.
Our View:
The Rockies don't want to do anything that could mess up their All-Star starter, so this is just the team playing it safe. Marquis owners should make sure he is in the lineup on Sunday, as he will be fully rested and ready to go. You may also want to consider shopping Marquis while his trade value is high, as he has been a significantly better first-half performer in his career.
July 11, 2009
Jason Marquis gave up three earned runs on seven hits over six innings in Saturday's 4-3 loss to the Braves at Coors Field. He had two walks and four strikeouts.
Our View:
He had a decent outing, and was dealt a loss due to poor run support from his teammates. Marquis currently continues to lead the NL with 11 wins, and should remain active in fantasy leagues.
July 6, 2009
Jason Marquis became the first pitcher to notch 11 wins, improving to 11-5 on Monday after holding Washington scoreless with seven hits, two walks and three strikeouts over eight innings.
Our View:
Marquis now has two-straight gems, though he's been shaky at points this season, and if his track record has taught us anything it's that he'll fall back to mediocrity before too long. Sell high if you can get anyone biting on his league-best win total.
June 25, 2009
Jason Marquis was lit up for eight runs (seven earned) on nine hits over 3.1 innings in Wednesday's 11-3 loss at the Angels. He had two walks and four strikeouts.
Our View:
Marquis had a disastrous outing, but still co-leads the NL with nine wins, and should bounce back fine. He shall remain penciled into fantasy lineups.
June 24, 2009
According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, Jason Marquis was almost traded to the Phillies before the Rockies recent hot streak began.
Our View:
The deal would have reportedly sent Marquis and Ryan Spilborghs to the Phils for J.A. Happ and prospects. The Rockies are 17-2 since June 4, but still could end up selling off players once they come back down to earth.
June 19, 2009
Jason Marquis allowed three earned runs on eight hits over 8.2 innings in Friday's 7-3 win over the Pirates at Coors Field. He had three walks and thre strikeouts.
Our View:
Marquis has earned a win in five of his last seven starts, and is currently tied for the NL lead with nine wins for the season. He has proven to be a strong acquisition for the Rockies, as well as fantasy owners.
June 13, 2009
Jason Marquis enjoyed a solid outing as he only allowed one earned run on seven hits over seven innings in Saturday's 5-3 win over Seattle at Coors Field. He had three walks and two strikeouts.
Our View:
Marquis had to settle for a no-decision rather than a win as he exited the game tied at 1-1. Fantasy owners should still be pleased with his outing tonight.
June 8, 2009
Jason Marquis was solid again for the Rockies on Monday, giving up only two runs in 6.2 innings while striking out four as the Rockies won 5-2 to complete a four game sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals.
Our View:
The right-hander has been reborn in the Rocky Mountains, going 8-4 with a 3.98 ERA in a place many pitchers go to die. It is unlikely that he will finish the season with an ERA under four, but he is definitely worth a flier if not already owned, and a solid spot starting option if you're unwilling to take the plunge on a full time roster spot.
May 29, 2009
Jason Marquis was brilliant on Friday. He tossed eight shutout innings in Coors Field and allowed six hits and four walks while striking out six. He earned the win and improved to 7-3 as the Rockies blanked the Padres 3-0.
Our View:
Marquis has been one of the biggest surprises this season. He owns a 3.93 ERA, a 7-3 record and seven quality starts. When he's been bad this season, hes been very bad, but when he's been on, he's been very good. Who would have thought with him heading to Coors field. Looks like that sinker is working for him.
May 18, 2009
Jason Marquis rebounded after a couple of bad starts on Monday as the Rockies downed the Braves 5-1. Marquis went eight innings and allowed one run on five hits while walking three and striking out three.
Our View:
It looked like Marquis had come back to Earth after his hot start, but he came right back tonight and threw a gem. Marquis has been a bit of a fantasy enigma this season, but history tells us these good starts are probably the exception rather than the rule.
May 13, 2009
On Wednesday Jason Marquis looked like the pitcher everyone expected him to be this season. He allowed nine runs on ten hits and three walks over just 3.2 innings and was tagged with his third loss of the season as the Rockies fell 15-11 to the Astros.
Our View:
We knew it would happen sooner or later. Back to back terrible starts where he allowed 16 runs in 9.2 innings boosted his ERA from 3.31 to 5.40. This may be a sign of this to come, so tread cautiously with him from now on.
May 7, 2009
Jason Marquis struggled a bit on Thursday, going six innings and allowing seven runs (five earned) on eight hits while striking out two. Marquis fell to 4-2 on the season with the loss.
Our View:
Marquis may be coming back down to Earth after his outstanding start to the season. His fantasy value is high risk right now, as he has been good for the most part, but his history suggests he won't be good for very long. Own him at your own risk.
May 2, 2009
Jason Marquis only allowed one earned run on five hits over nine innings in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Giants at AT&T Park. He also fired four strikeouts with one walk issued.
Our View:
A Pablo Sandoval home run spoiled his bid for a shutout, but fantasy owners should still be very pleased as Marquis collected his fourth win over five starts.
April 26, 2009
Jason Marquis picked up his third win of the season on Sunday in the Rockies' 10-4 win over the Dodgers. Marquis surrendered just three runs on six hits and four walks over 7.1 innings.
Our View:
Marquis has been surprisingly effective this season considering his surroundings. He's now 3-1 and has a respectable 4.10 ERA. Maybe he's finally listening to his pitching coach and constantly throwing his sinker. He weak K-rate certainly supports that theory.
April 15, 2009
Jason Marquis earned his second win in two starts on Wednesday as he shut down his former team, the Chicago Cubs. Marquis went seven innings while surrendering only one run on five hits. He also struck out three and walked two. He also helped himself out with a two RBI single in the second.
Our View:
This is the second straight impressive performance for Marquis as a Rockie, as he got the better of Rich Harden today. He is worth keeping an eye on, but waiting to see if he can keep this up may be a better fantasy option.
April 10, 2009
Jason Marquis out dueled Cole Hamels on Friday and earned his first win of 2009. The former Cub scattered five hits and two walks over seven innings and allowed just two earned runs as the Rockies topped the Phillies 10-3.
Our View:
Marquis is a questionable fantasy starter, especially since landing in Colorado, but had a nice day on Friday. If he can work his sinker and keep the ball down he could be effective in Coors field.
March 25, 2009
Jason Marquis got crushed again for ten hits and eleven earned runs in just 3.1 innings against the Angels on Wednesday. Marquis walked four, struck out one, and took his third loss of the spring.
Our View:
Marquis is expected to be a starter at the back end of the Colorado rotation but nothing has gone right this spring for the right-hander. He had marginal NL-only value to begin with but if these trends continue he might be pitching his way back to the bullpen.
March 20, 2009
Jason Marquis got creamed for six runs on seven hits in five innings on Friday against the Rangers. Marquis, now 0-2 this spring, struck out six men, but he also gave up two home runs.
Our View:
Marquis' stint as a hurler in the back end of the Colorado rotation has not been good. He was rocked today when he tried to pitch from a different spot on the mound. However, he switched back to his usual spot the final two innings and shut out the Rangers.
January 7, 2009
Jason Marquis was brought in by the Rockies to add stability to the back of their rotation, according to the Denver Post. He said, "I'm an aggressive, go-at-them guy. I want the ball every fifth day, I want the challenge of that, and I promise I'll leave it all on the field."
Our View:
If healthy, Marquis should be a solid innings-eater, which will help out their bullpen. Marquis is 3-0 over five career outings at Coors Field with a 2.51 ERA.
January 6, 2009
The Cubs have officially sent Jason Marquis to the Rockies in exchange for reliever Luis Vizcaino, according to MLB.com.
Our View:
Marquis is to be paid $9.875 million in 2009, and the Cubs are expected to pay $1 million of that. Sean Marshall will be a top candidate to fill his spot in the Cubs' rotation.
January 5, 2009
The Jason Marquis deal is expected to be finalized on Tuesday, according to MLB.com.
Our View:
Marquis leaving is expected to open up a slot for Sean Marshall in the rotation rather than the club going after Jake Peavy again.
January 4, 2009
Jason Marquis will cost the Rockies a payroll increase of $4.875 million to around $73 million total for 2009, according to the Denver Post. This includes subtracting the salary of Luis Vizcaino who the Rockies would be dealing for Marquis.
Our View:
The deal Marquis is expected to be finalized as early as Monday and he would become the the second highest-paid player on the Rockies, behind Todd Helton is will make $16.6 million in 2009.
