Carlos Zambrano looked as sharp as Steve Stone's commentary on Monday afternoon, going two innings, striking out three as the Cubs were defeated 9-1 by the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Carlos Marmol, who just last week announced he would stay in Arizona to compete for the closers job, has just told coach Lou Pinella he will pitch for his home-country of the Dominican Republic. Pinella has said that it will not affect his opportunity to compete with Kevin Gregg.
Milton Bradley is being cautious with his recent leg injury. He will DH in Wednesday's game and could see action in the outfield by Friday.

I would much rather have Carlos focus all of his attention on winning the closer job for the Chicago Cubs than winning the World Baseball Classic for the Dominican Republic.
ReplyDeleteThere has been an ongoing debate on when would be a good time to hold the WBC. Some analysts have suggested after the season (when players are tired) and some even said during or instead of the All-Star game. Personally, I don't know if either one would work. I do like the WBC, it just seems like there is no good time to hold it.
