So what about that Marmol kid...

[JackBauer]

Sure it was just a sample size but still, he looked impressive.

[soccer10k]

He did look good today.

[Balsa]

Me gusta. I wonder what he would be like starting though...

[Marco4]

True. Small sample size, but I like what he did with it.

We should trade Dempster.

Why would you want to trade Dempster? I don't think Marmol is ready to take his spot. I would like to Marmol get a chance at starting. The Cubs need some quality starters more than bullpen guys.

It was supposed to be a sarcastic remark--that Marmol is obviously so good that we no longer need to keep Dempster around.

Sorry I missed that :oops:

he is a converted catcher. They are rarely good pitchers cause they learn to throw the ball straight.

Personally.. any sign of life on this team is a big thumb's up from me! :)

Ever heard of Troy Percival?

and isn't Marmol's best pitch a hard sinker??

[stitchface]

the best thing about that article is that the angels promptly won the world series that year. I miss Mo!

Remember Todd Wellemeyer?? Yeah, I do too. :cry:

To this day I cringe whenever any Cub reliever debuts solidly. Welly K'ing the side for the save in the 16th of that Brewers game still sticks out.
