Future Cubs Bullpen

[THISisTHEyear09]

Who would be our closer/setup/relief pitching in the future?

 

2012 Bullpen

 

Closer- Carlos Marmol

Setup- David Cales

LHR- John Gaub

Mid Relief- Stevens, Reinhard, Ruhlman, Guzman

 

What do you think of that bullpen barring any trades/ FA signings?

[javy knows my name]

No Cashner?

You probably have better odds guessing the the lottery numbers than trying to predict what a major league team's bullpen will look like in 3 seasons.

In future bullpen land, have Ascanio and Cashner been involved in some kind of Peavy trade?

And if Jim Hendry is here, you can pretty much guarantee he will trade for a veteran or two and sign a couple free agents as well.

Yeah, it's pretty pointless to guess what the bullpen would look like in 3 years.

 

Anyways, here are a few candidates from the farm that you missed:

 

Andrew Cashner

Blake Parker

Marcos Mateo

Casey Lambert

Alex Maestri

And if Jim Hendry is here, you can pretty much guarantee he will trade for a veteran or two and sign a couple free agents as well.

And undoubtedly overpaying both in terms of talent and salary.

Caridad.

I think if you asked anyone to predict the 2009 Cubs opening day bullpen on the day after the Cubs were eliminated from the 2008 playoffs, I'm pretty sure nobody would have come up with Kevin Gregg, Luis Vizcaino, David Patton, and Aaron Heilman.
