08:18 AM ET 03.26 | The good news for Shaun Marcum is that he's had a nice spring. Marcum, slowed this spring by a stiff shoulder, needs no extra motivation. He works for a team trying to defend its National League Central title. He's trying to bounce back from a string of uncharacteristically poor starts to end last season, including a loss in the decisive Game 6 of the NL Championship Series. And, at age 30, he is entering a contract year. Marcum could be a free agent for the first time when the season ends. The Brewers have made no move to engage Marcum in discussions about an extension, and that appears unlikely to change in the waning days of Spring Training. "We'll probably let him play the year out," general manager Doug Melvin said.

In a pitching thin league (and market), it probably makes more sense to make nice with the guy and make him a decent offer ... there is not going to be a lot of pitching available at mid-season (or in next year's free agency class) that the Big Boys won't swoop in and snap up.
