Marcum was a funny commodity, but JP wanted him to be special. Now, JP is paying the ultimate price for not wanting to part with some of his homegrown talent. How sick would our line up be with bay? Plus, he's a friggin' canuck. Make the PR move JP, the fanbase doesn't care about your dreams any longer and you are running out of time to deliver.

Here's a new one: JP is an idiot for not expecting Marcum to go down with Tommy John surgery. Yes, our line-up would be much better with Bay...but our pitching staff would be that much better with Marcum and we don't give up a potential MVP candidate in the process.
Why are you so quick to give up on a 21-year old hitter and the youngest position player in the majors this season? I guess we should've dumped Lind as soon as he struggled too, hey?
