But seriously, I think you guys are wrong to think that if there's a tie, money won't be factored in. That's just ludicrous to think it isn't in there somewhere.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Give me a fucking break. Lou is 66 years old and has 2 years to win a title with the Cubs. The last thing he's going to be worried about when it comes down to deciding between Gregg or Marmol for closer is how much Marmol is going to cost the Cubs in 3 years.

It's like you can't read the word "tie."

Lou is making it a competition out of fairness with Gregg, but we all know how much Lou likes Marmol... He has an advantage here, and it's entirely Lou's call to make. If Lou decides he wants Marmol in a setup role, it will be because of how he pitched in that role last season, not because of his potential arbitration #'s three years from now.
