Marquis traded to the Rockies

In a deal that's been pending for a few days, SP Jason Marquis was dealt from the Cubs to the Rockies for RP Luis Vizcaino. I like this deal for one reason alone -- it sheds some pay roll. The Cubs did have to throw an extra $875k in, though. Vizcaino is no better at relieving than Marquis is starting, so I don't know what kind of role he will have.
