Some kid named Marmol was called up from the minors last week and pitched for the Cubs.
He was at least the 4th choice.
I believe the Cubs would have preferred Wood, Prior or Wade instead, but for various reasons they were not available.
I think he allowed 1 run in 6 innings. Not bad. I think everyone involved would have been happy if choices 1 thru 3 had performed just as well.
Marmol certainly wasn't complaining, even though he knew he was at best the 4th choice.
First choice or third choice the replacements made the list, made their mark, made their point.
