Well damn - I can't even grouse about Marmol's lineup today.
That's about a perfect lineup construction, IMO. I friggen love Donovan/Noot at the top of the order, though having L/L there might make matching up a little too easy later in the game. The good news is that Edman hits lefties well in the 9 spot but he probably doesn't have enough power potential to really scare teams into avoiding putting a lefty against him.
So if you're in the 6th/7th inning and get to the 9 spot, you bring the lefty in to face him, Donovan and Noot, you satisfy your 3-runner rule and bring in a righty for the meat of the order.
