Carlos Marmol's nasty stuff and will boost any team's strikeout rate. It's his control that is the issue. He improved that significantly in the second half last year but stumbled a bit after assuming the closer role. Still, he's firmly in the second roto tier of stoppers, but Marmol could easily perform as a No. 1. His returned profit could be high given you won't have to invest a ton in him.
