I always really liked Marcum when he was on the Jays and wanted the Sox to get him. Then his shoulder fell apart.
He is good when he's healthy, but he hasn't been fully healthy since 2012, so make of that what you will.

so a guy that can't throw a strike you swing at the 1st pitch. Thank god that Crisp sucks. He seems like a guy Ozzie would continue to play. Don't they have other options?
Gentry was called up today, but they need Crisp to be good for them to be effective. Kind of like the Sox and Eaton.
The Crew have been playing better lately, partly due to positive regression and probably partly due to new manager boost. The Sox, meanwhile, have been lousy all year, especially on the road.

i wonder what their record would be if they took 2 of 3 from every team?
At home, while winning 20% of their away games? About 71 games.

This team was so good this weekend though right?
Not really. Lost by 6 then won by 6 (against Jason Marquis) and then barely won again. They wont win many games if Samardzija and Sale have terrible seasons.
I believe they nixed the idea since Abreu is moving kind of gingerly on that foot. He will probably split time at 1st. They'll find ways to get LaRoche AB since he has looked somewhat alive lately.
