Loooooooooooou!

From Rotoworld Today:

Carlos Marmol is reportedly the new closer in Chicago. Marmol alluded to this position change to the Chicago media. He walks way too many batters, but when he gets the ball over the plate, he is unhittable. For the Cubs to make the playoffs, they need a shutdown closer and Marmol is the best option.

What in the world has Lou Piniella been waiting for?

Kevin Gregg has blown 3 saves this month, and they have been ugly:

8/1 - 3 runs and 4 hits

8/2 - 2 home runs on consecutive pitches

and the latest:

8/17 - 4 runs on 2 hits and 2 walks, ending with a walk off 3 run jimmy jack.

All that money spent on Cubs salaries and Lou has just run these guys into the ground. Amazingly, they are still only out 4-1/2 at this moment.

Nice trade today by the Lickers, getting Gregg just in time for their stretch run.
