August 19, 200521 yr How has this kid gotten so bad? He was extremely decent last season, relying on his sinker to get most of his outs via the ground ball. But, aside from a few decent appearances this season, he has been just plain mediocre. So far in August he is 0-4 with a 7.5 ERA and 1.79 WHIP. For the season he is 9-12 with a 4.36 ERA. So what should St. Louis do? They don't need a guy like this on the mound with their roster firmly depleted already. Should they release him and take their chances with Reyes? Put him in the bullpen to see if he can get his stuff back?
August 19, 200521 yr Author I haven't started many threads lately, and this one is appropriate after Marquis had another horrible outing tonight, and it's in the correct forum. So why dont you sod off.
August 19, 200521 yr Your right sorry it's free place post as many useless thread as you want to. I will just stay out of them, sorry.

I will just stay out of them, sorry. 907812[/snapback] I don't see what's so useless about this thread? One of St. Louis's starters is struggling badly, and they have a stud who showed so much promise in his one start, and I was wanting peoples opinions on what St. Louis should do about the situation. Every one of Marquis's starts is almost guranteed a loss at this point. It's actually a very relevant thread.
August 19, 200521 yr No comment. Maybe he should turn into an OF instead of Ankiel.. Pathetic.. Just pathetic.. He's pretty damn stubborn that doesnt ever have any confidence nor will he listen to the pitching coaches, etc. Last year was a fluke. Now I can see why Atlanta got rid of him. Awesome hitter though..
August 19, 200521 yr Author He could probably clear waivers right now. Open up a roster spot for Reyes.

August 19, 200521 yr Author He could probably clear waivers right now.? Open up a roster spot for Reyes. 907919[/snapback] No he couldn't. 907921[/snapback] With the way he is pitching? You are probably right, but that's why I said he could "probably" clear waivers. I guess the prospect of him being young and having 1 year of arbitration left might tempt some GM's, but the fact that he has been complete garbage lately might also turn some away. I thought you "ignored" my posts kid.
