Marks (Oakland, 13th round) is playing for Vermont in the Short Season A League following a couple of appearances in Rookie ball in Arizona.  Since joining the land of maple syrup, Marks has made four appearances, with one start.  He got his first professional win in his last outing where he went 3.2 innings, the longest stint of his brief career.  He allowed one run on one hit with a walk and four strikeouts.  Since joining Vermont, Marks overall numbers are 1-0 with a 4.63 ERA.  In four appearances, Marks has pitched 11.2 innings, giving up nine hits and six runs.  He's walked only one and struck out 19.  His bugaboo has been the long ball.  Of the nine hits he's given up, four have been home runs.  But when he's kept the ball in the park, he's been nasty.
