I wasn't saying who they would take, but who they should take.
Maness isn't a very good pitcher. I know we like him because he's come in and gotten some ground balls in good spots, but he has 10th percentile stuff. We lose that Milwaukee game because of him and Mujica if Beltran doesn't hose Aoki.
He's way, way too hittable. He only has value in a one out, runner on first situation, and that's not enough value to warrant a roster spot.
Axford can come in the middle stages of the game and get a strikeout in a must-K situation. Freeman can devastate lefties and his stuff is good enough to play on both sides. Scroate is the LOOGY. Siegrist has been the best pitcher on the team since June, and Rosenthal is not far behind.
Maness has the stuff of a White Salas.
