aquillno lopez and looper getting beat up in spring training...beware...Baez having a nice spring but it is the devil rays...joe nathan may be a nic cheapie later...mantei also getting banged around this spring...just some thoughts..
Herges will close while Nen is on the mend and I personally don't think Nen will be around all season wwhich means he could be a cheap source of 20+ saves.
Valverde is the closer of future for D-Backs. Mantei is having problems with his fingernails and that problem is a bitch for pitchers to get under control without prolonged rest or having it totally removed. Mantei is in a bunch of trade rumors as well as the D-Backs like Valverde and want to deal Mantei's 7 million salary...
