News
The Sports Xchange reports Cubs RP Carlos Marmol will be under the microscope this spring after blowing 10 saves in 44 chances last year. Command always has been the issue for Marmol, who hit nine batters and walked 48 last year in 74 innings. When he's on, he's difficult to hit. During a recent appearance on a Chicago radio show, general manager Jed Hoyer said the Cubs want and need much better from Marmol. "I don't think what happened last year is acceptable," Hoyer told ESPN radio in Chicago. "I think there's nothing more demoralizing to a baseball team than to win for 2:45 and then lose in the last 10 (minutes). I think that happened a lot last year. If you look back, this guy has had some dominant years. ... Everyone said the slider wasn't quite the same last (season)."

News
The Sports Xchange reports CF Marlon Byrd is the expected starter in center field for Chicago, with hot prospect Brett Jackson expected to open the season at Triple-A Iowa. The 34-year-old Byrd, entering the final year of his contract, batted only .198 with runners in scoring position last year, including .118 with the bases loaded. He missed six weeks of the season after being hit in the face with a pitch last May in Boston and hit only nine home runs, his lowest total since he hit five with Washington in 2006. If Jackson gets off to a hot start in the minor leagues, it's possible the Cubs will look to trade Byrd.
