Until today, Guzman had looked like an interesting speculative pick. News of his injury makes him a player to avoid, but monitor his progress along with Carlos Marmol's performance to judge whether he has value as the season progresses.

Positives / Upside	Guzman posted terrific numbers in 55 appearances for the Cubs in 2009. His ERA and WHIP were especially good, and his strikeout rate was solid. This success, along with Kevin Gregg's departure, positions Guzman as next in line to assume closing duties, behind the sometimes-erratic Carlos Marmol.
Negatives / Downside	Unfortunately, it looks like any upside Guzman offers is now remote, with news breaking that the reliever had torn a ligament in his shoulder. Whether or not he elects to undergo surgery, he is facing an extended stint on the disabled list.
Recommendation	Avoid
Draft Position	500
