Standard 5x5 roto. Not sure whether it's worth it to hang onto Marmol and hope he gets the job at some point, or pick up Morrow since it seems he's expected to be the closer. WHIR

Marmol will kick Gregg to the curb in a matter of weeks! Morrow isnt a bad option, but I would hold onto Marmol if you can, he will help you in every other cat ;-D

Help me?

This is a toughy since Gregg is probably on a short leash in Chicago. But Morrow will be given plenty of rope to succeed in Seattle since no one is there to challenge him. At this point, Marmol probably will sit on the wire until he wins the job, so you could always make the switch now and go back if you felt you really needed to later.

Chase saves now, IMO, and go with Morrow. I may be inclined to keep Marmol for the nice ratios, though.

I would pursue the here and now and go with Morrow. He won't get a lot of chances, but he's a solid option.

I think Morrow will get enough chances. Look at Brian Wilson in SF last year. Seattle has enough offense where they won't be getting blown out TOO often.

There isn't anyone else you can drop besides Marmol? I think Marmol is great for low ERA/WHIP, high K ratios, the occasional W/SV and he is immediately threatening the closer job. Personally, I am surprised Gregg is even out there. How many teams are in your league?

At this point, grab Morrow. I also like his SP eligibility. There will be other relievers available as the season progresses who will be promoted to CL (perhaps including Marmol). Take the saves when you can.
