Teal Shadow Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 ESPN's Jayson Stark is reporting that the Diamondbacks could ship Matt Mantei to the Twins for Jacque Jones. Mantei is due $2.7 million more than Jones in 2004. If the Diamondbacks are willing to pay at least half of that amount, perhaps a deal could get done. The Diamondbacks would play Jones over Danny Bautista in right field. Jose Valverde would take over as Arizona's closer. I guess this is the reason way the Braves move so fast to get Gullien locked up. :mischief2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJBurnett34 Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 I have always like Mantei. He is starting to be a great closer now. He is now throwing 98-101 MPH consistantly and has Perfected his curveball. I cant wait to see him, this season coming up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phlub Posted December 13, 2003 Share Posted December 13, 2003 Sh*t. Not Jacque Jones! Now I'm more pissed. Mantei is good. But for Jones? There goes the Twins 3 Star outfield of Jones, Hunter, Stewart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
