December 8, 200421 yr Author i remember the night we traded him...it was his mantai magnet day or something like that at the park, found it pretty funny. was traded to arizona 630051[/snapback] The same thing happened when I went to a Marlins game this season. The givaway was a Rubik's cube with a picture of Brad Penny on it, who had been traded to the Dodgers 2-3 days before that. We also gave out Ryan Dempster bobbleheads several months after he had been traded to Cincinnati.

I wish it had been us...damn it. 630174[/snapback] I agree, if mantei remains healthy that will be a huge steal 630240[/snapback] Schill has this to say, and his word is as good as any for me: "[He's a] fantastic teammate, hard worker, good guy. He will definitely shorten the game from a bullpen standpoint, which is huge. [if] he feels good, this could be every bit as lethal a bullpen as anyone else's with Mantei, [Mike] Timlin, [Alan] Embree for seven and eight, and Foulke for nine. It puts a huge amount of pressure on opposing teams to be ahead by the seventh. Now you put a rotation that can pitch innings in front of that pen and it gets better."
December 9, 200421 yr 750 K for Mantei! Wow that is a good deal. I expect him to bounce back the way Chad Fox did.
December 10, 200421 yr i remember the night we traded him...it was his mantai magnet day or something like that at the park, found it pretty funny. was traded to arizona 630051[/snapback] Who did we get for Mantei? Penny?
