If Marmol gets traded for Peavy, the deal had better be Marmol and inconsequential throw-ins for Peavy, and not much else. Marmol isn't getting traded. Letting Kerry go pretty much cements that, IMO. I agree, I was just commenting on his worth in the event Hendry did get stupid and move him. I agree, it was simply a thought based on what seems to be a needless trade for Gregg and the lack of a dominant closer option for SD. Call me a typical over-optimistic Cubs fan, but I really think Gregg is going to get flipped. Let's not forget how GMs way overvalue the save stat, and Gregg had about 30 of them last year.Of course, Hendry could be one of those GMs that way overvalues the save stat. I'm trying to pretend that's not a possibility...now I'm going to resume putting my hands over my ears while screaming "I can't hear you!" I don't think he does. Nothing really says to me that he overvalues saves as a stat. He cut Borowski after it became clear he was not going to go back to his 2003 numbers, he's letting Wood walk, he allowed Dempster to move back to the rotation. Hawkins, Eyre, and Howry were never really closers, only set-up men. One of his first moves in 2002 was trading Tom Gordon. Despite rumors that he would go after Jose Mesa among other used-to-be-good closers he has never done it. He's been hesitant to say that Marmol will be the closer, as his value as a goto guy is more important than just ending games. Nothing there really says he likes saves.
