----- COMMENT: AUTHOR: erich job DATE:2/16/2010 06:32:00 AM For the most part,I agree with you. First off,you do realize that Lilly won't pitch 'till Late-April,right? That being said,I think he'll have 10-12 wins. I also have doubts about Marmol closing full time. When he did it last year he blew up,but who knows? It could work out. I also like Gray,he might not make it right out of ST,but it's not completely nuts to say that he might. ----- COMMENT: AUTHOR: waldo7239117 DATE:2/16/2010 06:44:00 AM Yah I know Lilly wont be ready on opeinig day but Jim Hendry said he is on pace to maybe only miss 1 start. Well I think for Marmol, he lost his confident when he was not chosen closer out of ST and I think he will be one of best closer in 2010. I also like Gray and has a good chance to come out of ST. 2 opeings will be younger players. ----- COMMENT: AUTHOR: erich job DATE:2/16/2010 03:44:00 PM Oh I hadn't heard the update on Lilly. Your probably right about Marmol,at least he'll be better than Gregg,I'm so glad he is gone. ----- --------
