<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->Left-hander Sean Marshall has pitched well enough to deserve to keep his job in the starting rotation, but Piniella said the continued problems with the bullpen -- including lefty Neal Cotts' struggles -- might mean Marshall gets moved to the bullpen when Carlos Zambrano returns from the disabled list, possibly as soon as eight days from now.
''When we get Zambrano back, now we've got Wells and we've got Marshall to look at, and then we'll have to make a decision,'' said Piniella, also referring to right-hander Randy Wells, who's filling in for Zambrano in the rotation. ''I like the way Wells throws the ball, so he'll be staying. So it's just a matter of where.''<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Interesting. It also would seem to verify that Lou's really the one making these calls as we figured.
