Is Marmol a viable option at closer?

I've seen him used once before and didn't have a half bad year.

What say you vets?

He will kill you with the walks.

I've seen others(Luckyman & Riggo if I recall?)use him successfully in combo with a couple of others, but he killed me with the walks.

I'm using him now. You be the judge of his sucess:

At the end of the day, you have to remember that he's 1.34M. You get what you pay for.

Very nice. Excatly about his salary. I wanted to know if he was worth it for what I was paying. The walks are bad, but with the squad I'm making with Tulo/Hill in the middle should get lots of double plays to help him out.

I was thinking also about Fransico, but dunno, I like Marmols card and want to see how he does.

If he can duplicate what he is doing for you I would be more then happy.

Looks like $32M is still the default for pitching.

What exactly do you mean by properly?

In the team I posted above, I have the closer usage set to maximum, and Marmol is individually set as the primary closer with the following boxes checked: "IBB less", "Avoid blowout", "Avoid using before 8th", and "Max 1-2 IP".
