I think that last year was just a bump in the road for him and so many pitchers face that. I also think that people are ignoring the fact that even if Marmol wasn't closing the last couple of seasons he has still had value as a set up guy. While you shouldn't draft him as a set up guy, it makes taking him slightly early worth the rest. In Yahoo leagues for instance he has been ranked in the top 115 the last couple of seasons. Also, everyone wants to talk about Marmol is on a short leash, but what about Gregg? You said it - the guy blew 8 saves last year. <abbr><em>Mark’s last blog post..<a href="http://fantasybaseballhotstove.blogspot.com/2009/03/no-14-tim-lincecum-sp-san-francisco.html" rel="nofollow">No. 14 Tim Lincecum SP San Francisco Giants</a></abbr></em> I really like Buchholz.
