No Closer Controversy In Chicago
Written by wrigleyville   
Wednesday, 03 February 2010

Lou says he is perfectly comfortable with Carlos Marmol as his closer in 2010:

"I think the right decision was made last year, starting out with Gregg and giving Marmol more time to develop," Cubs manager Lou Piniella said. "We put Marmol in there and he responded, [11-for-11]. This year, he's our closer. No closer controversy, no closer decisions."

Given the other arms in the bullpen, there is no decision to make at this point. Marmol is his best option for Opening Day. In a bullpen full of paraplegics, I would be the best option for closer.

But if he has one of those two- or three-week stretches where he can't find the strike zone? That's a whole different question.

There is no other option is there?

If Marmol can't get the job done, there is going to be problems.
