So Carlos Marmol should replace Kerry Wood, eh? 15 pitches, 1 out and 3 runs. I really do like Carlos Marmol, but he’s not ready to be the closer. Kerry Wood has been seasoned and even though his arm can’t go much longer than an inning. He’s the closer… it doesn’t have to. Marmol has electric “stuff”, but he nearly blew the game against one of the worst offenses in one of the most pitcher-friendly ball parks.

Of course everyone has a bad day, and I’m not writing off Marmol at all, but Kerry Wood is and should be the closer.
