:col2: gets:

1B Ray Weber 84, 29 yrs old, $3.1M arb

SP Juan Arroyo 82/85, 23 yrs old, Pre-arb

COL accepts. We were looking for a power bat to add to the lineup and Weber definitely has that. Although Arroyo may have a promising future, we're dealing from a position of strength.

Weber was a useful platoon option for me, but he has since been leapfrogged on the depth chart and was replaceable. I like Arroyo as a potential back-end rotation guy or long reliever, but most importantly, young controllable pitcher.
