    Twins Marquis DFA'd?

    The Twins are set to designate pitcher Jason Marquis for assignment, a source tells Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports (via Twitter). The 33-year-old has struggled so far in 2012, posting an ERA of 8.47 with 3.2 K/9 and 3.7 BB/9 in seven starts.

    The right-hander inked a one-year, $3MM deal with the Twins in December after picking up interest from other clubs, including the Mets. Morosi notes that despite his struggles in Minnesota this year, the hurler has a history of success in the National League.

    Marquis made 23 starts for the Nats and D'Backs in 2011, finishing the year with a 4.43 ERA, 5.2 K/9 and 2.9 BB/9 across 132 innings.
    He never should have been signed in the first place.

    I'd like to see the Twins trade him to some NL team.
    They called up Cole DeVries to replace Marquis on the 25-man roster and in the rotation. DeVries was an undrafted player who grew up a Twins' fan. Its great to see him get this shot.

    He should have never been signed in the first place. I mean his age is a factor and it just shows the Twins don't do anything in free agency. Sign old washed up players when they should be after top talent!
