The Chicago Cubs have acquired reliever Luis Vizcaino from the Colorado Rockies.
In exchange, the Cubs sent Starter Jason Marquis to Colorado.
Marquis was 11-9 with a 4.53 ERA last season for the Cubs. The Rockies also receive cash.
Vizcaino struggled in his first year with Colorado, going 1-2 with a 5.28 ERA in 43 relief appearances.
If Luis Vizcaino struggled in Colorado, what makes you think he would be any better at Wrigley Field?
By that same token..
If Jason Marquis struggled in Chicago, what makes you think he would be any better at Coors Field?
The only thing Marquis can do that Vizcaino can't do is swing the bat, but how many relievers stay in ballgames long enough to do that?
Trade Grade: Meh.
