When is Shaun Marcum comming back ??
I know you own him so what are you doing to make up for his loss or possible long term injury
The good news is Marcum doesn't surgery. I wouldn't expect him back until after the All-Star break. The Jays are going to be very cautious with him. In the league I own him in, I picked up Wakefield.
