The Cubs bullpen ERA is 3.95, which is essentially tied for 7th with the Phillies in the NL. It isn't *that* bad.

It's been SENSATIONAL at times(especially July), but the back of the pen is a mess at this very moment, there's no getting around that. Marmol had good control for about 3 weeks straight, now back to what he was earlier in the year.
Anyway, Grabow's a big addition, but maybe not for the reasons we got him for. We might need him to be a 7th/8th inning guy at times.
