Should the Cubs switch Jason Marquis and Jon Leiber?

Question

Should they put Marquis in the pen as the longman and Leiber in the 5th spot in the rotation?

Answer 1

well its not as if jason marquis has been awful, like 7 runs in 3 innings or something like that. I actually don't mind marquis being the 5th starter because hes usually matched up against the other teams worst pitcher, and the offense should generally score some runs when hes on the mound. As long as marquis doesn't implode when he pitches, i'm alright with what he does. But if they were to replace him i would imagine it would be with sean marshall, not jon lieber.

Answer 2

Well...when the Cubs do get Lieber back he will probly be a little rusty till the end of the season so i dont think thats the best idea. Plus Jon Lieber is getting up there and i dont think he can consistently go 6 or 7 innings...Jason Marquis is at least giving us a chance to win ballgames...He isnt doing terrible But if he starts doing terrible then I bet Sean Marshall will replace him because Lou really likes Sean Marshall

So Marquis isnt doing the best, but he isnt really bad, and if he starts to slip, Sean Marshall will most likely replace him because Jon Lieber is just coming off an injury and is getting pretty old.

*I get annoyed with him giving up a lot of runs early too but we usually come back so I think we should give him a chance

Answer 3

Didn't you already try Lieber? Whats next marshall? You tried all those scenerios and none of them worked. LOL, you dont know anything

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

I'd rather see Marshall as the 5th starter
