Nice little 'blurb about Sean Marshall from SI:

[C.C.]

Who will be this year's Zach Duke? An early candidate: Chicago's Sean Marshall. A year ago the lefty was pitching for Single A Daytona. Today he's being counted on to help bring stability to a struggling rotation. Marshall is a towering 6-foot-7 but isn't a power pitcher like his twin brother, Brian, also selected by the Cubs in the 2003 draft. Marshall, who reminds scouts of Mark Mulder, possesses excellent command of his low-90-mph tumbling fastball and should be frustrating opposing hitters at Wrigley for years to come.

[Brian]

a huge error in there though, Brian Marshall was selected by the Red Sox, he's a FA now though.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Speaking of Brian, is he still available?

I don't know if we need any more power pitchers. Currently, two of them are living on Medicare benefits and the other is struggling while our two finesse guys are having great years. I am just really getting scared of these guys who throw so hard any more. I guess I'm scarred from Wood and Prior.

That's exactly why we need more pitchers.

Maybe Marshall could throw just a LITTLE BP on off days, seeing as how THE CUBS DON'T HIT LEFTIES FOR SQUAT THIS YEAR.

I don't think we want him getting dead arm in june though

[RyCubsFan]

"Mark Mulder" eh?

 

Let's see:

 

99 wins to just 51 losses,

25 complete games, 10 shut outs,

One 21 win season (another 19 win season),

2nd one year in the Cy Young voting,

5 consecutive 15 win seasons

5/6 seasons, he pitched over 200 innings (the other, he pitched 187).

 

I'll take it!

I like that comparison. At least they didn't say Barry Zito.

No......That is WHY the Cubs have Glendon Rusch.

[IWU_CUBS_FAN]

That may be why they have Glendon Rusch, but unfortunately they have him to throw BP to the other teams. :roll:
