Vargas has already been released. I appologize if I am misreading your post and you already konw this. Vargas is gone and we saved $2.7M by releasing him now instead of tomorrow. TLB, You might be right about those guys being as good as Vargas. I remember Jackson a little and think he was much like Vargas where he went deep into alot of counts. I dont' know much about the other guys, so I would have felt more comfortable with Vargas since I know what we will get out of him. I never really liked Vargas. Maybe it is best that he is gone, but I won't feel confident or like this move until I see some of those other AAA guys pitch.
