Any Brewers or Jays fans out there have an opinion on the Marcum-for-Lowrie trade? Personally I love the fact that Lowrie is Canadian but Marcum was our ACE since Halliday left. Hope he's all he's cracked up to be.

I hear the Jays are trying to swing a deal fro GrienkeComment -
As a Jays fan initially I was like WTF but trust AAs vision as a GM. Marcum isn't an overpowering guy and relies on control and location and he didn't have a great second half so probably a good idea to sell high on him.Comment -
Gonna be great in the NL, good pickup.Comment -
Winning move for the Brewers imo. Having canadian,black, white hispanic players makes no difference. It's about having the best roster. I personally like a good mix, but lean to more white players because of tradition. Hispanic players are very talented, but the teams that are loaded down with them don't win despite there talent.Comment -
the jays won this deal. this kid is gonna be a stud. and i think AA moved marcum because hes goin hard after Grienke. but the royals are asking for sndyder and drabekComment -
Call me crazy but I'd trade Drebek over Snyder if we had to package one of them into a deal for Greinke. But both=no way. Doesn't fit Alex's vision. Speaking of his vision I think it's great too. Build young, talented, and have a plethora of pitching talent.
Marcum will be a solid starting pitcher for the Brewers, and will get some RBIs too. I only hope this kid we're picking up will be solid or better than solid in a few years.Comment -
marcum is as solid as they come, brewerss will need alot more to get there pitching situation under control thoughComment -
Good trade for both......if Jays can land Zack, then getting Lawrie for Marcum is incredible.Comment -
I think the Jays sold high. Marcum's good, but he's no ace. Getting a A+ prospect and the wage certainty seems a solid move.Comment -
Not sure about all of this Greinke to Toronto talk, always hard to wade through the fact-or-fiction waters this time of year. If the Jays wanted to go after Greinke right now, why not include Marcum in a package back to KC? Doesn't make much sense to trade Marcum for the prospect Lawrie, can't imagine Lawrie will pique the Royals' interest more than Marcum would.Comment -
This thread just got interesting. Brewers look like they're trying to make a run.Comment -
missed this earlier but GREAT pickup by the brew crew. giants showed that young pitching can win championships!Comment -
Solid rotation for the Brewers heading into Spring Training.Comment -
My thoughts are that the Brewers are really making some great moves. Loved the Greinke add, cant argue with Marcum, especially not in that weak weak NL Central. I think the Reds and the Playoffs were a one and done deal.Comment
