It's shocking to me how much buzz has surrounded the Rockies pitching staff, from Freeland to Senzatela and Chatwood, and the latest name in Colorado to perk up ears is German Marquez, who took care of the Cubs inside of Coors ala 8.0 IP, 0 ER, 3 Hits, 1 BBs, 8 Ks. Holy Wade Boggs' Mustache that is a gorgeous line. Now, Rizzo, Russell, Zobrist, and Contreras were out of the lineup, but still, pretty stuff here. But that's all this really is, unfortunately. I don't see Marquez is being ownable in a 12-teamer as he just doesn't have the repertoire that screams high upside, nor is he consistently solid with his command. Keep in mind, Marquez allowed 13 ER across his previous three starts, and that included another shutout performance. That kind of volatility isn't for me, especially when Coors will do him few favors in the long run. I'm not getting pulled into the sirens' call and not rolling with Marquez on Shabbos, or any day for that matter.
Let’s see how every other SP did yesterday:
