    ERA is actually up to 3.68... For the Spring Season he closes out at 14.2 IP (not 15 as the mlb.com and WGN stats suggest), 10 H, 6 R, 6 ER, 8 BB, 11K, 3HR Allowed, 1.23 WHIP, 3.68 ERA. Not bad for a guy with very limited experience. MLB.com and WGN stats based that off Marshall having 10.1 IP going into this start - why the discrepancy with your stats over the .1 IP? I am not sure where they got that extra .1 IP, they were off on a lot of the hitters throughout the spring season as well but have caught up lately. Ok, just wondering. Thanks.

    I think I deserve an assist for that one, Len! 8)

    Crap. After you went 0 for 4 in the Elite 8, I don't want you on our bandwagon.

    Wow, great to hear Cherry is back healthy from TJS. I guess that means Piggy will be a starter.

    Woo!

    Pierre looks like a midget when he's on 2B with Young in the background on the mound.

    Heh, what did you expect? Dude's like 34' tall.

    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. Yeah, it hasn't been that much better and that is to be expected when he is skipping a level to the big leagues (it would be expected from a pitcher going from AAA to the big leagues). As you said, he has the history of better control + his limiting HRs will be keys to early big league success.

    Prior won it in 2004. Nice recovery inning by Sean.

    Something tells me the Cubs' scouting reports are written in crayon, based on the way Dusty approaches opposing hitters and pitchers... I'd be impressed if anyone besides Maddux (and maybe Prior) on this team put a lot of emphasis in scouting reports.

    Can you guys take a step back and calm down? EDIT: What Jon said.

    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. Don't have a problem with that, but Hill's control definitely needs to improve back to his 2005 minor league numbers. I would have preferred Marshall starting the season at AA, but of all the pitchers who could make the jump in the system with so few IP, I think Sean would be one of the best suited.

Other pitchers with the stuff of Marshall have succeeded in skipping AAA with limited number of IP above the AA level.

    Yes! 1 appearance will determine it!

    Doesn't help that Vegas is 2100' up.
  22. CaliforniaRaisin
    Meh. :(
  23. CaliforniaRaisin
    Oof. Love that strike 3 pitch.
  24. CaliforniaRaisin
    I read that too...GREAT... hey, how fast is Marshalls fastball? what are his pitches? I hoenstly know little about the kid Mostly throws a fastball 88-89, but can hit 92-93 if he needs to. Excellent curve. Throws a sweeper and a slow breaking curve. Change-up is a work in progress. From what I heard last season, the changeup is more than a work in progress.

    Not sure about these random qualifications, but Marshall went to college (unlike Willis). He has plus control, which is one of the reasons he'll be better suited for a quicker ascent to the big leagues than, say, a Rich Hill.
