Now how will the Cubs maximize their winning by losing strategy?

They're the Cubs. On one hand, they wrote the book on finding ways to lose; on the other, losing could be winning for them, so you have to figure they'll screw that up, too.

Getting back to the subject--I bought Marmol for $9 this year and thought I could have a bargain. In the words of a classic Rod Stewart song, "Look how wrong you can be." I didn't keep him active for long, so he didn't do much damage to my team, but it was a complete waste of auction dollars.

But he could well end up on your Mariners. At this point, if they fixed Ollie Perez, they have to believe they can fix Marmol, too.

It is now being reported that he will be up soon, but he is apparently still starting for Tacoma tonight.
