He gets through innings most of the time and would be a good middle reliever or solid setup man. I had only seen him pitch here or there before this year, but its pretty apparent he has mediocre stuff and shouldn't be closing. I think that's why he gets so much shit.
Guzman and Marmol should be the 8th and 9th inning guys.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
His stuff's been good enough to strike out more hitters than innings pitched. That's not his problem, it's throwing it over the plate consistently. I love what Angel Guzman's doing so far but it's been just 20 innings, and I think it's too early to swap him with a guy that's done it very well at the major league level for 7 years.
Also there's no way Marmol isn't closing if Gregg were to lose the role. It's going to be his job at some point in the future.
