Comments on: Roster Update http://farmauthority.dcsportsnet.com/2006/12/19/roster-update/ We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future - FDR Tue, 07 Oct 2008 17:23:27 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1.3 By: Basil http://farmauthority.dcsportsnet.com/2006/12/19/roster-update/#comment-5668 Basil Tue, 19 Dec 2006 14:17:37 +0000 http://farmauthority.dcsportsnet.com/2006/12/19/roster-update/#comment-5668 <p>I recall some statheadsy/prospectsy guys raised a fit when Nunez was named as the PTBNL in the Matt Mantei trade. He was a pretty good prospect at the time, but IIRC he stalled in part due to attitude problems. The other two guys reaped benefits later (Vladimir Nunez in obscurity in '01-02 and Brad Penny in '03, obviously), but at the time it was known as the Mantei trade . . . and I guess it still is. ;-)</p> <p>What do you think about Jimenez vs. Castro? I guess whichever one can play a more passable SS wins the UT role? Or could Macias do that, as well?</p> I recall some statheadsy/prospectsy guys raised a fit when Nunez was named as the PTBNL in the Matt Mantei trade.
