2010 Fantasy Outlook
Orta, 25, posted an impressive 1.94 ERA in 29 Double-A appearances (three starts) last year, benefiting from a .268 BABIP and just one home run allowed in 41.2 innings. Orta throws hard, hitting 94-95 mph, but his secondary pitches are inconsistent and his control is not always reliable. He has the arm strength to succeed, but he's better-suited to relief work, which is something the Mariners have plenty of at the moment.
