Marmol returns from the DL early next week. Right now Shawn Camp and James Russell will share the closing duties.","spin":"It's possible that Marmol eventually will close again, but it doesn't necessarily appear to be the case when he initially returns. Manager Dale Sveum emphasized the need for control from the spot, not a strong suit for Marmol. \"If something happens, it's going to be because (the opposition) hit the ball, not losing the back end of these games because of walks,\" Sveum said. \"That's the most frustrating thing about this. ... Nobody is really hitting the ball or doing things. We're imploding by walking guys and hitting guys.\"","date":"Sun May 27"},"fullName":"Carlos Marmol","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Control is not Marmol's strong point. His 5.88 walks per nine innings during his big league career ranks 10th-highest all-time, among pitchers with at least as many as his 459 1/3 innings, and among pitchers with 70-plus innings in a season, he has two of the 70 worst single years in history (2009's 7.91 ranked 19th and 2006's 6.90 ranked 70th). It's that weakness that makes Marmol a high-risk fantasy bet; he had a 5.91 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and blew four of 19 second-half save chances, to demonstrate. At the same time, he has struck out at least 93 batters in each of the past five seasons, and his 540 K's combined during that span were 140 more than any other reliever. Marmol is the height of risk/reward, a pitcher every bit as likely to crack the top 10 fantasy closers as to fall flat on his face in April, ranking among 2012's least valuable selections.
