quote from Yahoo...

At the moment, the Marlins are buyers -- they're reportedly closing in on acquiring closer Armando Benitez from the Mets

The Marlins? I mean, anything is better than the Mets but what if the fall out of the wild card race in 3 weeks? and they already have Looper...

I believe I read it on Rotoworld but don't quote me on that...but it said Looper would be the setup man for Benitez...I think it would help his value a little (but you have to figure which team will have the best second half). With Piazza coming back in August, and Florida dumping offense before the deadline, you never know...the Mets could be better than the fish.

This is what Yahoo is saying:

Stephanie Myles of The Montreal Gazette reports Montreal Expos general manager Omar Minaya is looking at either New York Mets closer Armando Benitez or Texas Rangers closer Ugueth Urbina. Urbina used to play with the Expos.
