Mine either. The guy is a decent pitcher, but loses his concentration and mechanics to easily. Its like he gives up 1-2 runs, or 5-9 runs, never any middle...
Unfortunately, you can't have faith in him getting the job done well on a consistent basis. I wish I knew of a team that would take him off our hands and at...

Aside from a rough post-season, Marmol has earned a shot at closing in 2008, IMO. I would give him the job and see if he can keep it. Dempster isn't a...
One thing great about this board is that people post all winter and post some of the most wonderful/dream filled things. I was just wondering if the post that...
Mike, I can't shed any light on that post regarding Mark Prior wanting to be out of Chicago. Even though he's injury-prone, I still haven't written him off as...

Ryan, I would also give Marmol a crack at being next year's closer because he's got good control as well as having closer's stuff. Dempster didn't throw...

Au Contraire, Bob. Dempster was a pretty decent starter until he ran into Tommy John problems. And honestly, he's probably got better starter stuff than...
Adam, I also believe Dempster has better stuff as a starter than as a reliever. Yes, I certainly do remember those last two weeks when Marmol was rocked by...

It could also be Marmol was tired. Pretty sure its the first time he ever pitched that late in a season. D ... From: Ron Schultz To:...
Adam, I hope you're right,. But I just don't think I want to see him on the mound every fifth day for Marmol and Woody and Howry to clean up after. The...
Bob, Only time will tell whether or not he will be able to get the job done as a starter. Since he would like to get back into that role and since Lou is all...

Yeah, youre right. Pie could earn himself a nice starting spot in Center field, Jaque Jones could be move to right field or be benched. Pie needs to play...
Since when do we just award jobs 2 weeks into the offseason. You know they've told pitchers in the past to stretch out into a starter role (Neal Cotts comes to...
If Kerry Wood can pitch back to back days, I'd say have him close. If he comes back anyway. ... [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
Some of us have been waiting for Angel Guzman for more than 5 years. Another in a long line of should-have-beens for the Cubs. As far as Dempster goes, Lou was...
Maybe Dempster's problem is that he is not really all that good as a starter OR reliever. He seems adequate at both, probably walks too many guys to be good at...
I am not here to dump on Jacques Jones. He had a good second half and was not the reason the Cubs lost in the playoffs. But I am glad he is gone. Poor throwing...
More like futility infielder. I doubt Infante will be on this team for long. Hendry has been trying to dump Jones on someone for a while. He finally found a...

Dempster should definetly have to prove he can get the job done as a starter and I think he'll get that chance come spring training. In the event he isn't...
