Adam, You got that right. After the way he pitched in the second half, he should have to earn his way into the starting rotation. If John Lieber can beat him...

Frank, Since his second half stunk, he should have to earn that fifth spot in our rotation. Marquis's competition for that spot will most likely be John...

Really? Considering how pig-headed he got when the try to correct his mechanics? So one outburst by Marquis and he'll never change??? Hendry maybe shouldn't...
He could change but I'd still rather have a fifth starter who would pitch good for the majority of the season. I don't blame the Cards for not pitching him in...

I agree with you in part there. Hendry paid way too much for him and that doesn't bode well for moving him.... ... would pitch good for the majority of the...
I'm glad he did lip off, otherwise, we'd have most likely been stuck with him the next two seasons. Granted, we still could be stuck with him, but I believe...
