The last 2 years as a starter he he went 14-15 on a bad A's team with a 4.32 ERA in 235.3 innings pitched, in the American League. He made 34 starts and threw 199.3 innings in 07 with a 4.42 ERA in the AL. Then this last year, 3-2 with a 3.75 ERA in 6 starts. That would be pretty damn good for a #5 starter and better than Marquis did the last 2 years. I don't see how he's overrated around here and why he can't be a legitimate option. I'd probably feel safest with him over any of the other options.

I guess I'm not too impressed with a 4.42 ERA with a shitload of baserunners like he had in 2007, especially considering his home park ranked 27th out of 30 parks with regards to favoring pitchers that season. I'd say he'd be lucky to keep an ERA under 5 as a starter with the Cubs.
