There was some rumblings between Jason Marquis and Lou Piniella over the weekend to go along with a broken finger for Alfonso Soriano out of Cubs spring training in Mesa, Arizona.
Marquis said that he is a starter in the big leagues and that he should be in the starting rotation with the Cubs or even another team. Piniella then came back and said that maybe he should be pitching for another team then. After both of them cooled down, Piniella said that everything was ok between the two of them. I wonder if Marquis could possibly be included in the trade for Brian Roberts if that ever happens?
The Cubs will have to do without Alfonso Soriano for five to seven days as well as he suffered a broken middle finger while taking flyballs in practice. Reports are saying that it isn’t too serious, and he just can’t use the finger for a little while. Soriano can keep up with his running / conditioning so he will just have to put in some extra time in the batting cages to catch up.
