I actually put Marquez on a top-prospect list within this
organization....and yes, that is saying something given the pitching
depth the organization has.

Teams will never learn that trading good prospects for relief pitchers
is just bad practice - it's hardly ever justifiable in my book.

Trading a few of these pitchers is something that HAS to be done at
some point, don't get me wrong.  But wrong time, wrong player.   And
Gagne does little in my eyes to make them a stronger wild-card
contender.  He's more likely to blow out his arm on his first pitch in
pinstripes, if the trade does happen.
