The Colorado Rockies are talking seriously with the Cubs about a deal that would send Jason Marquis to the Rockies and Luis Vizcaino to the Cubs. I’ll give you a minute to wipe the coffee off your monitor. Ready? Let’s move on. Vizcaino is not good, and he’s a drunk. What does he have going for him? He’s not Jason Marquis. Jim Hendry’s inability to move Marquis’ contract may be what’s been creating the logjam in the Cubs’ offseason. Who would have thought that bidding against oneself for Marquis’ services two offseasons ago would eventually come back to bite…one?

Me. Anyhow, trade him, cut Vizcaino, and go sign Milton Bradley so I can work on a sweet Monopoly post.
