marshall's control hasn't been that much better than hill's this spring. though he certainly has a history of better control. you're right though, if i had to pick a guy to jump all the way up, it would be him. good inning right there.
-
His spring #s still look better than Guzman, Hill or Ryu's. his AAA #'s don't. It's a definite gamble, but the Cubs really have no one else (besides Jerome, who should be the 4th starter - but I'd rather have Marshall get consistant outings as the 4 starter). my preferred course of action would be to leave williams as the #4, and send guzman, hill, and marshall to west tenn or dm and see who's pitching the best when the 15th rolls around. if a decision had to be made right now on the fifth starter, i would have went w/ hill, just b/c of the success he had last year compared to the lack of innings thrown by gooz and marshall. it's dumb to make a decision like that based on 10 ST innings.

Yes! 1 appearance will determine it! I'm going to love rubbing the obvious in your faces when he fails. The prospect love puts blinders on a lot of you. don't be a dick. unless you want people rubbing it in your face when rusch sucks.

Yes! 1 appearance will determine it! the problem is, four appearances determined that he was in the rotation. this is a bad decision by the cubs.
-
marshall's spring #'s don't look quite so hot now. i'm afraid this may be a failed experiment.
-
it's funny that if you bunt a lot people say you're a good bunter...even if it never works.
-
...and get madson off your minor league roster. that's been driving me nuts since before you were the manager.
-
anybody see latroy hawkins freaking out on sportscenter? 'it's bs. it's [bleep]. nobody's guilty.' something along those lines.
-
who's parlayed a short stretch of above average play in a meaningless season into more...rusch or neifi?
-
Roster cuts coming?

i don't see how marshall deserves that spot over hill, but i'd rather have him than kirk reuter or something. -
geez, this season needs to start. i'm sick of hearing about how great/awful guys' spring numbers are.
-
All that warm Arizona air, and the scantily clad women, must be really rough eh Bruce? :lol: I was there last weekend. There are quite a few scantily clad women in the stands who should descantify their clad. It was a rough sight. yeah, it's hardly a feast for the eyes at those games.
-
i think they'll take the 32nd pick.
-
then is he ruling out guzman getting that spot?
-
he reached my patience limit some time in 2005.
-
but our defense is AWESOME! and you win games w/ defense, people.
-
I'm guessing/hoping he just meant that the #5 starter wouldn't break camp with the team period. They originally wanted Guzman, Marshall, and Hill to all pitch at either AA or AAA for a couple of weeks to win the job, so hopefully they realize just how bad of a decision putting the 5th starter in the bullpen would be. that's what i though too. but when mentioning marshall he said he put himself in the position "to make the club." to me, that sounds like breaking camp w/ the team.
-
what's the alternative? woo kirk reuter out of retirement? regardless of whether a team is contending, i'd rather throw a guy out there who has the potential of being good than throw someone out there who you just hope doesn't suck to his fullest sucking potential. i'd be happy w/ either hill or marshall.
-
he didnt really elaborate, the interview was short and generally just the same old generic answers to the same old questions, although ryu wasnt even mentioned i dont think yeah, i heard it. it just seemed weird that he specifically mentioned that marshall could make the club (as opposed to being called up on the 15th as the 5th starter) while specifically saying that guzman won't make the team out of camp. and, no i don't think ryu was mentioned. he did say that he gets calls every day about gooz, hill, and marshall.
-
odd that he said that marshall could make the club while guzman won't. does that mean marshall could be the long guy instead of ryu? i'd rather see marshall get starts in AA or AAA.
-
thank goodness the cubs signed a guy with a bat. for a while there i thought they were going to sign that guy w/ no arms.
-
Anyone know how Korey has played this spring

every time walker isn't in a lineup, i'm afraid he's been traded.
