Sean Marshall BandWGN

I'm on!! This kid's fun to watch. I'm fully expecting him to be traded by the trade deadline. It makes me nervous what's going to happen when both Prior and Miller get back. You think Miller's getting nervous??

 

One other thing....Miller will hopefully be taking Rusch long relief position when he returns. Marshall is firmly planted in the starting rotation considering the team is 6-2 when Big Sean is on the bump.

 

I'm very concerned about Marshall pitching well past his normal innings pitched total. Having only pitched between 75 and 90 innings per year the past couple years, he's not a good candidate to be in the rotation all season.

 

I've been thinking about this as well. What do the Cubs do if Marshall continues to pitch well? What should they do? (What will do and what they should do are usually 2 different things when it comes to the Cubs) Could they just shut him down?

 

Not without drawing the ire of moronic fans they couldn't. Also it depends on the situation. If they climb back into a hunt, it may behoove the cubs to shut him down (ala prior in 2003 - though that was a couple starts due to the Giles collision) so that he's fresh in september. He's going to get deadarm - it will happen. So let's get him some starts off here and there.

They may be able to let him skip a few starts some time this summer. Say maybe between June and August. That may help, but I don't know that they'll even consider it if he continues to pitch well.

I was on this bandwagon last season.
