Kerry Wood pulled out to heal a blister, which meant that Carlos Marmol’s now in the Game—even though his manager Lou Pinella recently said he needed the rest afforded by the All-Star Break. Plus there’s the aforementioned unwritten Little League “everybody plays” rule, which must now be balanced with (rather than eliminated by) the desire to win. Oh, yeah, and every team needs to send a representative, even the lowly Royals and Mariners.

Bob Howry and Carlos Marmol provide an excellent tandem of set up men and Ryan Dempster, who is capable of providing 200 innings, can return to the starting rotation, giving the Cubs even more depth and experience there. There are different schools of thought on whether the quantity of innings a starter goes through or the frequent appearances of a relief pitcher cause a greater strain on a pitchers’ arm, so it is tough to predict if the move to the bullpen will keep Wood healthy. Following guidelines similar to the ones the Red Sox set for Jonathan Papelbon last season could be just as beneficial to Wood. If Wood’s health does allow the Cubs pitching to fall into place, they certainly become the easy favorite in the division.

probably owes it to the fans and the organization for not giving up on him.
(7) Carlos Marmol will be a one year Wonder
After having a sensation season in 2007 with an ERA of 1.43 in 69.1 innings pitch, you can throw all of that out the window. He will not be as dominating as he was last year. The reason he was making hitters sit right back on their seat last year was because most of the National League has never seen his stuff. Players started to hate facing him, that was until August and September began. Players began to figure out Marmols stuff and some began to notice he was tipping some of his pitches. Do you remember that one game in which the Cubs had to win to ensure they were going to the playoffs and they were facing the Marlins? Do you remember Marmol pitching in the 8th inning with the Cubs up 4-3 and Marlins 7,8,9 hitters were up and he gave up two runs which made us all dizzy because we thought the Cubs were not going to make the playoffs? Speaking of playoffs, the Diamondbacks easily figured Marmol out. In the first game, he gave up two runs and the second game he gave up one run. His playoff line was this: 3 hits, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 HR, 3 BB, ERA of 9, and threw a grand total of 68 pitches in two games. That is a lot of pitches for just three innings. Expect the same trend in 2008 when his ERA skyrockets to 4.50 and gives up 20 home runs.

the ingredients a manager can ask for. With Eyre and Howry, it is a dynamic dual. With Carlos Marmol as the setup man, it should be no problem to give the ball to Kerry Wood. Even though it is his first year as a closer, Wood should be in a comforable position.
