He was a quality starter for a few teams before he had to have Tommy John surgery. The cubs took a flier on him cheap to have him in the bullpen a couple years back.
He pitched well in the spring, won the job over Leiber and Marshall, so we'll see what happens.

Correct me if I'm wrong Rook, but I think Lieber is kind of on standby as a spot starter. If Dempster has trouble he will be there to fill in as well as with injuries.

Leiber right now is the long reliever. Jason Marquis got the 5th starting spot over Leiber in spring training.
Pinella has said numerous times that it's going to take more then 5 starting pitchers this year to win the division and be successful, so although it could be thought of a demotion for Leiber, he still can provide strong long innings if need be in the short term, and become that spot starter on some of those long couple weeks with no days off.
Dude the Florida Marlins have a payroll of 21 million they get at least 60 million in revenue sharing where the hell is the other 40 million going and all the $$$ from ticket sells and food sells???????????????
