We all knew it would happen and it has. Kevin Gregg finally lost the job he never really had. Lou Pinella said that Carlos Marmol will take over has closer for the cubs and Gregg will be the setup man.

This is bad news and more bad news. First off, Marmol has been terrible this season. He has a 3.51 ERA so far in 2009 and an even worse 1.47 WHIP. The reason he makes a bad choice for Pinella is his walk count. Marmol has walked 52 batters in 56 innings. You just can't walk that many guys and expect to close out games effectively and be considered a fantasy relevant closer.

Keep an eye on Angel Guzman and John Grabow. Grabow is a lefty will closing experience back in his days with the Pirates. Guzman has had a solid season, but lacks experience.

Get Marmol if you can, but you are playing with fire. Frankly, I'd let this one go if you have the chance to get Marmol. I carried him most of the first half and he was a ERA and WHIP killer. Let someone else rush to grab him and join the closer circus. This is where you show your strength as a manager. The new closer isn't always the best option.
