Maness is the exact kind of fungible rag-arm that I'd throw out there as often as possible while he's effective knowing full well I'm gonna burn him up because who cares? The league's gonna figure him out anyway and there are a dozen guys just like him in AAA.
Gant is like that for me right now. I'd pitch him as often as I needed to while he's getting guys out. Because I'd be surprised if he's in the league in 3 years anyway; guys that are fringy relievers with no real projectability just stop getting guys out one day and that's that.
So while they're getting guys out, use 'em.
Thoroughbreds like Siegrist and Rosenthal, though (and now Hicks)....damn I hate what we did to those guys.

Come on, Gant won’t be out of the league in 3 years. That will be just about the time we sign him to a 3 year/40mm extension...
