I love seeing Jean go on a little hot streak. Even when he struggled early he's always looked like he had the ability to be a .300 hitter. I don't want to get my hopes up but I'm starting to envision him as a Starlin Castro with better defense if he grows into his frame a little.

I've read that once a guy is mature by around 26-27 there's a lot less risk for long term injury from throwing a lot of high stress pitches. I don't know if Fiers' high overhead delivery causes more stress on his shoulder or elbow though?

How big of a deal will Marcum get?
DoubleSwitch replied to DoubleSwitch's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
I think a lot of people here are under rating the market value of a starting pitcher of Marcum's caliber. Before he went on the DL this year he was the Brewers best pitcher and had his k/9 at 8.4, which is pretty good for a guy who rarely touches 90. If he comes back and throws 50 good innings to finish the season he will definitely get some teams interested in going multi-year with him. He may be satisfied with the qualifying offer in order to re-establish his value, but if he was more comfortable with 3 years around 25-30 mil you can't tell me that's not a pretty good risk to take. -
If he comes back and looks good in 7-9 starts I could see a team like Kansas City offering him something in the 4 year 40 million+ range. Would you be comfortable signing Marcum in that range if Greinke is out of our price range this off-season? I'm not sure. I don't think you can count on him for 200 innings but 160-180 innings a year of sub 4 FIP is pretty valuable. If you figure some things out in the bullpen and add one solid starting pitcher I think the Brewers will be a competitive team next year so it might be a good risk to take.
