But, until he can be traded, hell serve a necessary role as set-up man to Baez. Mark is a shell of his Atlanta days, where he was one of the dominant closers in baseball. But for now, he will do in this role. DNP (Injured) The easiest decision Mark Shapiro will make this off-season will be to turn down Wohlers 2004 option with a $1.0M buyout instead of paying an exorbitant $8.0M to retain his services for 2004. He wasnt really needed last year, and Shapiro seems to have learned his lesson on giving role players multi-year contracts. After he is exorcised from the team, only Wickman, Gutierrez, and Lawton remain on the salary dump to-do list. 2004 team option declined; Became Free Agent. | |
