Marcum and Gee are recovering from injuries, surgeries, whatever. So even if they were once better than this, they may no longer be. Sure, we can give them each another start or two, but at some point they have to stop pitching to a 6+ ERA or give way to someone else. Even in a non-contending year, they should try to win games. I wouldn't release Gee; I'd instead let him work things out in the minors. Marcum too, I guess, not because he may be part of the future, but because of the $4 million.
