I don't think the Cubs can ever get a prospect worth mentioning for him. Marmol is what he is. A high-risk, low reward bullpen pitcher.


That's just wrong

It isn't. He has a terrible WHIP, blows a sky high amount of saves. You can get his same production from a countless number of young pitchers making $450,000.


Last year he had 10 blown slaves.
In 2010 he had 5.
This year he has 1.

Kind of a small sample size no?

One good year followed by one bad year is a developing trend?

He is trending downward.


He's either hurt or washed up.


My point is: Teams are dumb when they are desperate. I feel like you can always get some idiot GM to think "We'll get him right"

Marmol needs to develop another pitch he can throw for a strike. He had the advantage initially, teams adjusted and now they have the advantage. Pitchers do this all the time so I'm not sure what he is waiting for.

I guess we just have to root for Marmol to find it, if only for a short stretch, to entice some GM's


With all this said, if they traded him for nothing. Id get over it in about 5 seconds.


He was a favorite of mine though. By far the MVP of both 07 and 08 Cubs.


I loved when people credited Lou's going crazy for turning around the cubs in 07. Yeah, it was the manager kicking dirt, not the completely dominant pitcher that came in and shut the door every time the cubs had a lead after 6

Another pitch? How about one pitch he can throw over the plate.
