His ERA is better than it looks due to Tampa great defense). Marcum may also be considered a health risk due to his mechanics and the way he pitches. Nonetheless, Jays got a great prospect while Tampa got a couple of good prospects (Lee and Archer) + below average prospects. Jays took quality over quantity.

In the mid-season rankings by BBA, he was ranked higher than Drabek. Lawrie is a bluechip prospect and he is better than any of the prospects that were involved in the Garza deal.

A major league player for ONE prospect just doesnt seem even unless its a bluechip prospect. And by what I've read, Lawrie is no blue chip. holy crap, how the rays got all that, and the Jays got only Brett Lawrie for Marcum is beyond me.
