Carlos Marmol...

...looks like he could throw it through a brick wall on every pitch. Has he ever had any major surgeries before? If not, his delivery seems tailor made for an elbow injury soon.

 

Also, anyone think that this guy would be made the closer if we are eliminated in the next month or so (why can't we be in a hard division so the management would realize we suck)?

he hasn't been a pitcher for all that long now. he used to be a catcher/ outfielder. I still like him as a starter better than relief he has good stuff and unlike most pitchers he only has had a handful of years on the mound. He is just coming into his own.

I too like him as a starter and he's proven he could be successful in that role, but in my heart I think he will/could be a star as a closer. It's him that needs to be groomed for that role, not Guzman. Guzman could be a 7th-8th inning bridge to Marmol.

I would give Marmol a start at some point...
