As good as he's looked, I hope Marmol is sent down. After being called up straight from AA I think he needs the development time the most. Indeed. I think he'll head to Iowa instead of West Tenn, though. Ya I know it will be AAA and that is good, Alan Dunn is an excellent pitching coach. I'm just commenting that since he made such a jump he should go back to the minors to continue learning before he sticks in the bigs. Let him learn from coach Maddux. DFA Rusch. This is a no-brainer to me. Marmol has been one of very few bright spots, let's see how he progresses with the Cubs. This is only Marmol's 4th year pitching and he's never pitched about AA; even if he has been a bright spot he's still very raw and the MLB is not a place to learn. Let him go down to where he can work on some things and let him come back up when he's ready. Maddux is a good source of knowledge but so are the minor league coaches; Maddux will still be here to help him once he's back up but there is no sense in rushing him.
