<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->Sean Marshall asked for $1.175 million and was offered $800,000 from the Cubs when arbitration figures were exchanged Tuesday. Marshall is still in a state of limbo with the Cubs, fighting to establish himself as a starter but spending most of his time in the bullpen. He had a 4.32 ERA and 1.44 WHIP in 85 1/3 innings last season while earning the league minimum. This is his first year of arbitration eligibility.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->Ryan Theriot asked for $3.4 million and was offered $2.6 million from the Cubs when arbitration figures were exchanged Tuesday. Shortstop prospect Starlin Castro is breathing down his neck, but Theriot should handle starting shortstop duties for most of the 2010 season. He hit .284/.343/.369 with seven home runs and 54 RBI last year.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
