From everything I'm reading, seems like a decent trade. Mazzaro is still young and developing, and has had some success. Profiles to be a solid #3 starter at best, but I'll take that. I haven't read anything on Marks, but while his ERA and WHIP are marginal, he's striking out more than a batter an inning as a lefty and is also still young.
In addition, they outrighted Banny to AAA, and he chose to become a free agent. We all liked Banny, but he just doesn't quite have the talent to be a MLB pitcher I'm afraid.
