June 8, 201114 yr http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2011/06/yank..._medium=twitter The Yankees claimed pitcher Jeff Marquez off waivers from the White Sox, MLBTR has learned. The 26-year-old righty had been designated for assignment by Chicago on Sunday. Marquez was drafted 41st overall by the Yankees in 2004 and was later traded to the White Sox as part of the Nick Swisher deal in November of 2008.

June 8, 201114 yr Author KnightsBaseball Charlotte Knights Just got a text from Jeff Marquez, saying he thanks all the Knights and White Sox fans for their support!

June 8, 201114 yr I'm much more of a backer of Williams than Guillen (I think they both should go at this point), but those Swisher deals were just the worst. I mean, they were just terrible.
June 8, 201114 yr The Knights pitching staff will be severely short handed now, with Harrell up and Marquez gone. That's two of their five starters.
June 8, 201114 yr The Yankees may see the benefit of his development with the White Sox, he's pitched better this year than the previous two years.

June 8, 201114 yr So, what are the Vegas odds on KW getting Marquez back in his next trade w/ the Yankees?
June 8, 201114 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 8, 2011 -> 02:56 PM) The last 2 years he's been hurt. I know, but now he's healthy and pitching well and the White Sox lose him.
June 8, 201114 yr QUOTE (JPN366 @ Jun 8, 2011 -> 01:00 PM) I know, but now he's healthy and pitching well and the White Sox lose him. That's what I thought. He looked pretty good in ST and almost made the team. I was hoping we might actually see some of that talent people used to rave about. Figures.

All those players for Gavin Floyd. Almost an even steven deal right?
June 8, 201114 yr QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jun 8, 2011 -> 05:33 PM) Good run down. All those players for Gavin Floyd. Almost an even steven deal right? At least as of now, if you count the fact that we got 4 years of Jim Thome as well...Gavin Floyd + Jim Thome has almost certainly massively outtotaled the people we gave up in WAR. And really...the only guy who is going to change that calculus is Gio.

And really...the only guy who is going to change that calculus is Gio. I would agree that Gio Gonzales woud look good in our rotation. Jim Thome would still be welcome here too I think. I see Jimbo is on the DL or at least working through some medical problem
