Quote:You guys are acting like the meatballs that post on cubs.com. Shark had a bad couple months. He's still throwing the ball 95 MPH. He's a quality pitcher. He;s thrown 200+ innings for 4 years in a row. He's not and ace, but if he's you're 4th or 5th starter that means you have one hell of a rotation. I'm a buyer at 2yr/$25M. I think he gets closer to 4yr/$55M unless he decides to accept a 1 year deal to reestablish his value.Ummm. He wasn't just bad this season. He was dogshit. In a contract year.
ERA+: 79. He led the league in hits allowed (228), earned runs given up (118), and home runs allowed (29).
I guess the 95mph and 200 innings are nice, but Jason Marquis gave us 200 innings, too. No fucking way you give him $12M a season. Not when you can get a guy off the scrapheap who will put up similar numbers for next to nothing.
