Why do you think the two starters, while Lilly is out, will definitely be Silva and Gorzelanny? I'll give you the former (sigh), but Sean Marshall has been the best and most consistent of the four guys gunning for a starter's spot.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
You're still on the Marshall-for-starter bandwagon? I fell off of that one last year. The guy is a dominant reliever, what's wrong with that?
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Mainly the fact that he hasn't been a dominant reliever? He's been good, and I'm not complaining, but I can't see how a guy letting up almost 1 and a half runners an inning (at least in 2009) can be dominant.
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I recall he got worse and worse as the season went on, but was very solid in the pen early on. His splits for the past few seasons are pretty telling. His whip doesn't vary much between starting and relieving yet his ERA is about 1.7 runs lower while BAA .030 lower out of the pen. I think the ship has sailed on Marshall as a full-time starter or anything resembling an innings eater, but I'm happy with him in the pen.
