He's done everything he's been asked to do and has done it successfully, with ERAs under 4 the last 2 seasons. The whole "let them battle it out in Spring Training" idea is generally pretty retarded if you ask me. I think we know what we have in Marshall by now, and a limited # of innings in Spring Training shouldn't really change anything.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I agree, unless Marshall's stuff looks like shit in ST, and someone else is missing every bat.

I'm thinking the Heilman deal was made to enable Marshall to be the 5th with Heilman going into Marshall's swigman role.

I don't know that it had quite that level of purpose - I assume it was just more depth, and a guy that Hendry hearts. I hope it plays out that way, though.
