Jason Marquis Retrospective

« Twenty Games In: Who's Hot and Who's Not? | Main | Staff goes Deep, adds Jarvis »

John Sickels tracks the pre-Cardinals career of Jason Marquis in a blog entry yesterday. His discussion ended with the following:

Similar Pitchers to Jason Marquis, through age 25 (Based on Sim Score and PECOTA, no active comps)

Pete Redfern
Wayne Simpson
Francisco Barrios
Johnny Marcum
Omar Olivares
Walt Terrell
Joe Sparma
Dave Goltz
Todd Stottlemyre
John Denny

I hadn't thought of an Olivares comp, but both are decent sinkerball pitchers. By the way Olivares is still floating around somewhere. While following Ankiel's progress in winter ball, I noticed that Olivares also was pitching in Puerto Rico (as was Bill Pulsipher).

I would never have compared Omar Olivares to Todd Stottlemyre or John Denny. Both Stottlemyre and Denny "seemed to have" much longer stretches of consistent "good" outings than Olivares ever had.
