Marmol needs to learn to tone it down some. His intensity leads to the control problems I discussed, but I think he learns to harness his incredible stuff this year. I like Marmol to outproduce his cost/draft position. 3-30-3.25-1.30-95 in 75 IP

Positives / Upside	Marmol has some of the best stuff in the game and strikes out a ton a guys for a reliever (93 in 74 IP in 09). With Kevin Gregg out of Chicago, and the Cubs likely to win more games in 2010, Marmol should be able to double the 15 saves he recorded in the 2009. He is clearly one of the more intriguing young arms in the game. 3-35-3.10-1.25-95 in 75 IP
Negatives / Downside	Walks. Lots of walks. In his 74 IP last year, Marmol walked 65 batters. For perspective, he only allowed 43 hits. The huge walks total will prevent him from posting a great WHIP. Last year it was 1.46, and giving guys free bases is a great way to blow saves. 3-25-3.55-1.40-90 in 70 IP
Recommendation	Go the extra dollar
Draft Position	125
