Imagine if the Colorado Rockies had Jason Marquis in 2010. Could they have avoided a September slump and made the playoffs two years in a row for the first time in club history? We will never know but it seems like a shame to only have him pitch for the Rockies for one year.
Jason Marquis was a well established veteran by the time he reached the Rockies. He debuted with the Atlanta Braves and played on the 2006 World Series Champion Cardinals team. He then signed with the Cubs for the 2007-2008 seasons. That was the launching pad to Marquis’ career with the Rockies.
