According to the Daily News, The Cubs are shopping RHP Jason Marquis, ‘and apparently like Endy Chavez.’
…well, they can like him, but they’re not getting him…
Marquis won at least 12 games in each of the last four seasons, while compiling a 4.54 ERA and averaging 33 starts per year.
I don’t know.. i’m not a huge marquis fan but i do think he’s a decent pitcher. I wouldn’t mind him as a #5
I dated his sister for a short while.. no joke!
I hope she doesn’t look like him!
A 4th OFer for a 5th starter out of the question? Matt, wake up. gomez is endy-light.
Achilles400, I couldn’t agree more. Endy is not much more than “the catch.”
oh, but what a catch it was! …otherwise, I agree
I have been saying this for a long, Endy is a 4th-5th OF…not a key cog.
Endy was the glue for a while in that outfield, and he (Homers notwithstanding) is a complete ballplayer. he made that catch because he knows how to play, knows where he has to be before the ball is hit. has gotten good at bats if not key hits and always always hustles!! He is what every manager would want coming off the bench and many would like him in their starting lineup. I am an Endy Chavez fan bigtime. He is a smooth operator out there and a tough out.
You cant trade Endy “The Catch” Chavez. Thats some bad karma!
LOL….I dated Isringhausen for a bit in the mid-90’s….can we bring him to the bullpen?
I was going to make a crass remark about his ears but I’ll take the high road. ;-)
His hearing was fabulous :)
heh..SURE!
I love a couple doors down from Tom Glavine’s niece… can we sign hi…. oops never mind
I met Shawn Estes once.Can we bring him back?
David Cone showed me his…oh never mind
LOL! ;-)
I went to camp with John Franco’s niece, let’s sign her!
She’s gotta be better than he was!
What about Piazza’s missus? She was a familiar face on certain computer screens and magazines in the 1990s.
i seen pictures of jose lima’s wife… sign him err
yea lets do this. this way when we trade gomez and martinez for johan santana we have no outfielders!!!
I like endy a lot…but i think the whole god-like status he has around here is a little overblown
that being said, marquis would pretty much match glavine’s numbers from last year…probably exceed them
if a frontline starter can’t be aquired, this wouldn’t be a terrible option
If we trade Endy Chavez we’d instantly have to promote Ender Chavez to fill the void.
Trade Endy, and ship out Ender.
but Ender is the only hope for human kind…
Ender will save us all.
There is always Bean!
but if we trade Ender, it’ll inhibit Bean’s development.
Perhaps we can send Ender to the Cubs and pass him off and Endy.
Jason Marquis? No thank you.
If we wanted to pick up a 5th starter who is a stiff, we can always get Vicente Padilla for a bag of jellbeans.
(Yes, i randomly insulted Padilla, but it’s true)
Marquis is a frustrating pitcher. He gives up a lot of hits, and a lot of walks. That’s a recipe for disaster. At least someone like Carlos Silva (who gives up a ton of hits) doesn’t walk anyone. I would stay away from Marquis.
the moment I read your post Mister Koo was also the first moment in my lifetime that I viewed Carlos Silva in anything that could be called a positive light. An extremely dim light, but…
Haha, well, there is always someone worse out there. Having great control is something Silva will always be able to hang his hat on, no matter if the league hits .380 against him. At the very least, he makes the opposing team earn their runs (unlike Kenny Rogers vs Andruw Jones in 1999).
OMG bringing up the Gambler (he only knew when to fold ‘em) only makes that dim light grow brighter. Silva should consider firing his agent and hiring you.
Never give up Endy!!!!!
In all seriousness though, I hate to say it, but Marquis for Endy wouldn’t be such a bad deal. Still though, I’d absolutely hate to see him leave.
I do like Endy very much however as our roster is currently compiled he does not fit in well. Marlon Anderson is the #1 lefty pinch hitter and can also play OF. With Church in RF and Alou subject to missing games we would be more balanced with a fourth OF that hits RH with some pop.
Church can play CF so we don’t necessarily ned to carry a back-up CF .
Except with all the raping going on in the trade market…I’d expect Gomez, FMart and at least one of the Pelfrey, Humber, Mulvey triumverate to be required to make that deal.
Moving Endy is not a terrible idea. He is pretty one dimensional and since Church has played a ton of CF….he could certainly handle the duties there when Beltran needs a blow. We could then secure a guy like Nady in a trade. Pelfrey, Heilman and Gomez for Snell and Nady.
Endy traded for Marquis
Rotation
Pedro
Maine
Perez
Snell
Marquis
reserves Humber and Mulvey and the rest of the youth minus Gomez.
Nady can spell 1b and RF against LH pitching
I’m still waiting for this Nady/Snell trade to happen.
Whats not to like?!?
Yeah, a starting pitcher with a decent career track record for an overrated bench player????
if Marquis was a viable 5th starter/innings eater type, then it would be a good deal.
Endy is pretty much 1 demensional at this point 9D), and he may be the off man out if they pick up a RH OF like Mench or Nady. I still don’t think they want to go with Easley on any regualr basis splitting time with Church.
190+ IP last 4 years
id rather just sign livan. the 4th OF position on our team is really more a 3 1/2 OFer considering how much he will play for alou. sadly we cant afford to trade endy chavez unless we have an equal if not better option for the OF (kevin mench)
He’s the definition of a fifth starter: utterly mediocre at best, downright awful at worst; no upside; but he can probably give you 200 ever-so-slightly-better-than-replacement-level innings.
At least Silva is a credible finesse pitcher. Marquis has nothing.
He got my friends and I front row tickets to the Cardinals Pirates game. I say DO IT
Sign Silva and Livan and the rotation is upgraded. That’s 400 innings, which will save the pen for September.
Endy Chavez…I hope you’re playing today…
I don’t know about this, I kind of like having Endy on the bench…
So does Willie.
Matt is getting a bit saucy. You took Paulie away frmo him, now don’t you dare take Endy! LOL
I am not crazy about this, but I would think about it.4th OF for a 5th started. I would wait and see what Humfrey gives you before making this move. This should be an emergency move done during the season.
I’d sign Silva as a first 5th starter option.. then Marquis and then Livan.
Silva: 36 walks in 202 innings!
Though, he does give up a ton of hits. His WHIP is 1.312.
