| Date | Question | Answer |
|---|---|---|
| 2011-07-13 12:30:00 | What would the return package look like in a trade for Carlos Marmol? (squirrelmasterz from Seattle) | Marmol is signed for two more seasons, but like a lot of Cubs players, he'll be making a pretty penny in both of them (especially the second one: $9.8 million). That'll cut down on the caliber of the prospects coming back, unless the Cubs include cash, but given that he signed his extension before this season, the Cubs might not be looking to trade him. (Ben Lindbergh) |
| 2011-02-14 13:00:00 | You have to like the back-end of the Cubs pen(Wood,Marshall, Marmol), no? (Matt from Chicago) | Carlos Marmol is my favorite freak in the whole world. It's this crazy high-wire act that makes no sense but is exhilarating. He's the Cirque du Soleil of closers. (Tommy Bennett) |
| 2010-11-11 13:00:00 | Why isn't there more of a push for Jim Hendry to trade Carlos Marmol? He is an arm injury waiting to happen and solid closers are wasted on bad teams (see Soria). (Goose from Chicago) | I guess the question is about getting equal value for him. I do think it would be a smart rebuilding move, but I'd bet he's just as valuable in July as now. Maybe they're looking around for suitors already...who knows? (Matt Swartz) |
| 2010-07-22 13:00:00 | How much more difficult to hit would Carlos Marmol's slider be if he grew a beard? I think it's all that's keeping him from perfection.
(Mike from Chicago) | Carlos Marmol is one of my favorite statistical oddities. Here are his pop up rates from 2008 onward: 19.8%, 13.9%, 12.2%. That's crazy! (Tommy Bennett) |
| 2010-07-26 14:00:00 | Ken, The Mets have lost three road games in the last five days in their opponents' last at-bat, while K-Rod only got work in mop-up duty on Saturday in a 6-1 win. Manuel says he's not wavering from his belief in the "no closer in tie games on the road" mentality, but we're falling out of wild card race on the backs of Ollie Perez and Fernando Nieve. What did we do to deserve this? (Dan from Brooklyn) | While last night, as an example, TLR let Ryan Franklin work the 9th and 10th on the road in a tie game. And hey presto, they won! Meanwhile, Carlos Marmol pitched only the 9th and gave way to the immortal Brian Schlitter (whose one-line comment in the 2009 BP Annual is one of my all-time faves), who worked two innings and took the loss. I hate, just hate, stuff like that.
What did you do to deserve this? You chose the wrong hometown team to root for, I guess (something I, too, am guilty of). (Ken Funck) |
| 2010-07-26 14:00:00 | Why aren't the Cubs looking to deal Carlos Marmol? I despise closers on bad teams (Soria) and he is a prime injury candidate. If they are as enamored with Andrew Cashner and ready to declare him their closer of the future, why not put Marmol on the market as the other RP available are a joke? (Gray from Chicago) | I think they view Cashner as a starter long-term, and I don't think they view Marmol as an injury waiting to happen. Marmol's cheap, and they don't want to trade anyone that's both cheap and effective. (Ken Funck) |
| 2009-04-20 13:00:00 | Re: Sheehan bullpen usage...what if the manager is misidentifying his pitchers on purpose? If I know that Carlos Marmol is a better pitcher than Kevin Gregg, I am sure Pinella knows it too. But by naming Gregg his "closer" Lou is now able to use Marmol in high leverage situations without the controversy of using his "closer" in the 7th inning. I know your answer will be, "who cares about the controversy" but it would exist and be a distraction. This may be Lou's work-around. (danbrod11 from Greenwich, CT) | Maybe. But we're back to the inning issue. If the #7 spot leads off the eighth in a one-run game, in your scenario, Gregg should pitch the eighth. He won't.
The inning needs to be removed as the driving factor in these decisions. The entire closer myth is predicated on the idea that the ninth is somehow harder than the seventh and eighth, regardless of other factors. That's false, and damaging. (Joe Sheehan) |
| 2009-02-19 13:00:00 | Which pitchers participating in the WBC worry you most as far exerting themselves too much too early in the spring? Liriano comes to mind for me. I wish the Twins had done what the Rays did with Kazmir. (Jonathan from New York) | I'd heard that Liriano was out. I honestly haven't looked at the rosters that hard. Carlos Marmol comes to mind. (Will Carroll) |
| 2008-09-23 13:30:00 | It hadn't occured to me until that comment on B. Lidge, but isn't Carlos Marmol some kind of dead ringer for Lidge? They give up big homers but otherwise have filthy sliders, keep the hits down but give up some walks...they're even on the same career path. Yes/no? (Henry F. from Chitown) | The arm angles are so different that the comp doesn't work very well, but just on stat lines, yes, I see the similarities. (Joe Sheehan) |
| 2008-06-03 13:00:00 | Who would you say is the Cubs' MVP through the first two months of the season? Seems like there are A LOT of viable candidates. (Scrapper from Itasca) | Probably too many good candidates to name (which is a great problem btw). If I had pick one, I'll go with Carlos Zambrano. He's 8-1 and has gotten off to maybe the best start of his career. You know he's going to give you a great chance to win every 5th day. Offensively, it's just too difficult for me to pick one guy. My honorable mention is Carlos Marmol. (Len Kasper) |
| 2008-06-03 13:00:00 | Len - I've started a nickname for Carlos Marmol among my friends: The Wolf. The reason is, when he comes in the game I feel like Jules in Pulp Fiction when he finds out that Marsellus is sending The Wolf - totally at ease. Any chance you can help to spread the nickname? (Feel free to develop a more fan-friendly explanation, wolf in sheep's clothing, etc). Thanks! (Jivas from Oak Park, IL) | Interesting analogy.
My favorite line: "Who's Zed?" "Zed's dead, baby" (Len Kasper) |
| 2008-05-27 13:00:00 | Why isn't Carlos Marmol starting? (Rob from Bloomington, IL) | Because I think this is one of those Jonathan Papelbon cases where a guy has so outperformed expectations in the bullpen that you don't tinker with that. I think I'd honestly rather try Kerry Wood in the rotation and make Marmol my closer. (Nate Silver) |
| 2008-04-23 13:00:00 | Hey Kevin, do the Cubs have any Carlos Marmol type arms lying in the weeds in AA or AAA? (Pat from Chicago) | If they did, they certainly wouldn't be lying in the weeds. YOu can't with that kind of stuff. Jose Ceda might have that kind of stuff, but he's in High A right now. (Kevin Goldstein) |
