Trade Kevin Gregg and move Marmol to Closer
by BBrown on Jul 12, 2009 5:37 PM CDT
Email
PrintJim Hendry should trade Kevin Gregg because Gregg Blows way to many saves and is not that good. He should also move Marmol to the closer role.
This would be a good move because Marmol has nasty stuff and is just a lot better than Kevin Gregg. We could also get some good money or another good player for Kevin Gregg. Kevin Gregg does not have anything other than a pretty good speed fast ball but that is it. Trade Gregg and move Marmol to closer would be the best thing this team could do right now.

no thanks
in fact I’d move Marmol out of the 8th inning role as well. How many walks is it going to take Lou to figure that out

Why?
Carlos cant not find his control! He leads the world in walks. And Gregg has done pretty good so far and Im pretty sure Gregg saved Marmol yesterday. Im a huge fan of Marmol as well but NO. And the best thing right now is to trade him? We need enough runs to make it to the 9th to hand it over to a closer. 3 blown saves I think he has. Enough said
Are you kidding?
As of right now, Marmol has 42IP and 42BB! 1 walk per IP? You want that in the 9th inning? In comparison Gregg has only 16BB in 40 2/3IP. Much better IMHO.
also
only a fastball? He’s got a a solid curveball too

Only 3 BS
It is not like he is that bad. 16/19(84.2%) isn’t terrible. Our “savior” last year in Wood was 34/40(85%). I’ll take Gregg over Marmol.
I hope you didn't come to this conclusion
after watching yesterday’s game.

♪ ♫ It's my prerogative ♪ ♫
(To suggest a ridiculously bad trade move.)
I've committed to tweeting about the Cubs for the rest of the season. (Does that sound as ridiculous as I think it does?) Anyway, if you're on Twitter, you can follow me here.
Pass..
An upgrade there is simply playing at the margins, and the late-inning situation is the least of the Cubs concern.
And frankly, I’m a bit troubled that you think this move is the “best thing that the Cubs can do right now”. Really? I mean, have you seen Marmol lately, let alone what’s happening with their offense?
At the begginning of the year
I had the same thoughts. However, Gregg has proven himself to be a great closer. Marmol has been walking way too many hitters and I believe Marmol has blown more saves in fewer chances than Gregg.
BBrown...
did you just start watching Cubs baseball because your proposal is ludicrous. Up to now, Marmol has not been very good. Gregg has been adequate and he’s our best option right now. I think we should move Marmol out of the setup role and move Angel Guzman up.
He is obviously not watching the same games as the rest of us....
Lets trade Gregg for Wood. Keep Marmol….And trade hoff to STL for big AL….Maybe we can trade for Halladay too… I’m thinking a blanco/Fuld/Patton package should just about it do it.

In 2002, Neifi Perez was a -3.1 WAR for the Royals. FanGraphs converts WAR to dollar values, so, in their own words:
Dollars – WAR converted to a dollar scale based on what a player would make in free agency
If Perez was on the free market in 2002, his “value” was worth a negative $8,000,000. I find this very, very funny.
"The riches of the game are in the thrills, not the money." --Ernie Banks
In the next CBA...
players that have a negative WAR at the end of the season should have to pay back a percentage of their contract for the year based on a complex formula involving #of Games Played, #of Hits, #of outs made, # of times picked off, #of time caught stealing, #of gatorade coolers damaged, and their OPS.

Gregg is doing an okay job even better than okay.

Not as hilarious as Marmol's line score in THE HECKLER
According to The Heckler on July 20 Vs the Phillies this will be Marmal’s line score
" 1 inning, 8 walks, 5 strikeouts, 3 hit batters, 0 hits, one balk and five earned runs.
Miraculously he picks up a hold in the Cubs 15-14 win causing MLB to drop the hold as an official stat."

This topic is new
unless you count the other 234345234542352345235 time is has been discussed, and again I stand firm that Marmol is not a closer, Gregg is doing well enough, leave it alone.
If I were to move anyone else to Closer, I would consider Double Stack (Guzman) before Marmol. Marmol is most effective being the bridge between the “oh shit, we are in a jam” and the closer situation. Leave him alone there.

Got it. Crossing the streams is bad.
Important safety tip. Thanks, Igon.

make it 82 rec's
with mine being 82
that post is, well, unique
baseball is a game of outs......pop out, ground out, line out, pitch out, strike out, fly out, and Fox and Bud's favorite black out
Great idea
We need more of these good ideas. One point though, Hendry would not make Marmol the closer, I think Lou would have something to say about that.
I am thinking you can get a real solid bat for Gregg. Most likely a 30-30 guy. I say yes pull the trigger and get the offense going.

I've committed to tweeting about the Cubs for the rest of the season. (Does that sound as ridiculous as I think it does?) Anyway, if you're on Twitter, you can follow me here.
it's important
to have proper safety signs.

Yeah...no
You must be watching last year’s highlight tape. Because I know you haven’t been paying attention this year.
marmol
maybe next year. i cant see bringing gregg back. give the job in spring training to marmol. and maybe he can get it together. he is walking way to many guys now to be the closer.
Good grief!
