[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1463785, member: 26283"] Looking at the guys who had the most similar careers to Q through age 29... Oddly, three of them got hurt and never pitched after the age of 29 - Niese, Latos and McGlothlin. And Ben Sheets got hurt and never pitched a full season again. Matt Garza’s career went up in smoke at age 30. Anibal Sanchez’s career looked like it went up in smoke, but he may have revived it last year in Atlanta. We’ll see. Denny Lemaster has one more good year. Pete Harnisch had two more good years. Paul Splittorff was a decent starter for another 7 years. Chuck Finley was a just below HoF performer for another decade+. Q has obviously already surpassed the three guys that never pitched again. From there the Cubs are looking for more Splittorff or Finley and less Sanchez and Garz for this year and 2020, the last year of his contract. If they get that at under $12M a year, that’s a complete bargain and well worth the trade. [/QUOTE]
