A lot of fans in the Nation were disturbed about the signing of right-handed pitcher Jason Marquis before the 2015 season started. There were concerns about his age, his durability and a history of injuries. It may have been a low-risk signing ($1.5 million) but Marquis eventually was released by the Reds after going 3-4 this year and posting an ERA of 6.46. And that earned run average was definitely in Eric Milton territory (see below).
There were a lot of warning flags before this signing of Marquis by Walt Jocketty and the Reds. It was one that didn’t work out.
