December 13, 200322 yr I'd rather have Armando for $2-2.5 Mill than Looper for $3 Mill. But, if they both cost around $3 Million, I'd take one of the top 3 2-seam fastballs in the game with Braden.
December 13, 200322 yr and why resign him at one year $3mil? make it a 2 or 3 year deal this kid could BLOW UP and then we would never afford him
December 13, 200322 yr I just heard the DBacks will be willing to pick up half of Matt Mantei's salary.....how about a return of the Iceman?
December 13, 200322 yr I just heard the DBacks will be willing to pick up half of Matt Mantei's salary.....how about a return of the Iceman? I believe he would still cost $3.5mil in case anyone wondered

December 13, 200322 yr Looper's the way to go, and do you really think we could get Benitez for 2.2-2.5?
December 13, 200322 yr In my opinion Mantei>Looper>Benitez. I just don't trust Benitez. If we can get Mantei for $3.5 million I really believe we should look into this. You know they're looking for a Rightfielder. :shifty I truly believe we should resign Looper if he comes for a fairly reasonable price. He was awesome at the beginning of the year. He just wore down at the end because we used him so much. If we had had some help for him in the bullpen at the beginning of the year I think he would've pitched much better in September and the Playoffs.
December 13, 200322 yr You know they're looking for a Rightfielder. :shifty They are trying to CUT costs...
December 13, 200322 yr mayeb an encarnacion, mantei trade?? and why did they sign mantei for 7 mill a year????
December 13, 200322 yr How about a deal simlar to this one with the Dbacks. Marlins get Matt Mantei Dbacks get Juan Encarnacion or Braden Looper Nate Bump or Blaine Neal Trevor Hutchinson Also Marlins pay around 2.8 to 3 mil of Mantei 2004 salary while Zona pays the rest.
December 13, 200322 yr You know they're looking for a Rightfielder. :shifty They are trying to CUT costs... I'm talking about if we offer Encarnacion arbitration we might be able to send him to Arizona for Mantei.

Marlins get Matt Mantei Dbacks get Juan Encarnacion or Braden Looper Nate Bump or Blaine Neal Trevor Hutchinson Also Marlins pay around 2.8 to 3 mil of Mantei 2004 salary while Zona pays the rest. That reminds me that I saw in front of this website that Marlins are interested in getting Mantei back since they traded him to DBacks years ago.
December 13, 200322 yr It be cool if we get Maintei Alfonseca and Looper all back on the same pen for next year, and they all performed at their est like they have in the past we us. BTW: flasportsfan88 the D-backs gave Mantei that contract because when they got him from us he was one of the top closers in all of baseball.

I think he's too valuable to sacrifice for an oft-injured pitcher.
