Marcum hasn't actually faired all that well against the Yanks, Red Sox and Rays, but pretty much dominates everyone else.

His delivery method (the W) lends itself to many injuries over time. Marcum already missed a full year, and in return we get the Brewers top prospect. Lawrie is 20 and in AA, and his OPS this past year was only .020 less than Snider when he was in AA and 20.

Snider is considered to be a budding superstar based on his production at his age. So just for that fact, this trade is a major win, even if it may mean that the jays are a little less good in the rotation next year.

Also, I don't think the Jays are going to get Greinke unless the asking price is significantly less than what's being reported.
