I haven't seen more than a couple games this year...

but statistics-wise Marshall and Marmol look like they've performed quite well for us.

 

My question is for all you guys who get to watch them day in and day out and possibly saw them in the minors...

 

Are they the real thing? Are either of them potential #2 or #3 starters in the bigs, or do you think they're putting up good numbers based on flukes, luck and possibly hitters not knowing them too well yet?

 

Basically, I guess I'm asking if the concensus is that they are future good starters for this team, or if we'd be better off packaging them in a trade at the deadline to get something to improve the team and take advantage of selling "high?"

I think Marmol has potential ace stuff while Marshall could turn into a great middle of the rotation guy.

 

Too early to really get a good look though.

Marshall and Hill both have knee buckling curve balls. More experience is necessary, but I think all 4 of them (including Guzman) can be successful major league starters

I really like that Marshall doesn't appear to get rattled.

Marmol definately looks like a solid #2 starter (at least) but Marshall could be as well though. Both need to improve their WHIP. Marshall also seems to be on and off with his performances - he'll be good one time out and bad another time out. Both need more time in the bigs and I will be disappointed if either is sent down to AAA this year.

From what I have seen it looks like Marshall is really good 4 out of 5 innings but he always has one bad inning
