Rate These Closers: Escobar, Baez, and Mantei..

[kcs261]

I would rate them:

1. Escobar
2. Baez
3. Mantei

But I was curious on other views. Thanks.

Same order.
1)Escobar = Proven
2)Baez = Unproven in pen
3)Mantei = Glass

I think Baez will be like Julio last year, he has nice stuff. I dont like Escobar. His career whip stinks, he gets saves ugly. 4.66 career era, 1.46 whip. If Toronto trades him, which they want to do, he will set up then. Mantei was clocked at 100 the other day. I prefer Mantei until Escobar proves he can quit walking guys, and get a decent whip.

Does anybody think Looper or Anderson are better options than any of the three above?

I would rate them:

1. Escobar
2. Baez
3. Mantei

I would put them in the same order as well.
