If he was used the way I wanted him to be used, it wouldn't be an issue. He's not a inning-long reliever and not a multiple inning reliever. He's not a loogy in the literal sense, but he should never face more than 3 batters. The role that Lou seems to think he's fit for is just plain wrong though.

What role should have?
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Yeah, I'm confused. He hasn't done well with inherited runners either, so I'm guess he shouldn't be a bail out guy like Marmol's been in the past. He should just come in the 7th or 8th for one or two outs?
<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Yep, he should start the inning, be used for 1-3 hitters and then pulled, using him against lefty heavy lineups. Under no circumstance should he finish an inning, then be brought out for the next inning like Lou has been doing way too much. Marshall should be the permanent 8th inning guy.

I'm not sure why you want him to pitch to lefties specifically.
Career vs. RHB: .260/.349/.406
Career vs. LHB: .262/.333/.378
Sure, he's better against lefties, but not by very much at all.
