		Armando Benitez turned 26 years old last month.
		He shows up with one or two great pitches, such as Olson's knee-buckling curve ball or Benitez' searing fastball-slider combination, and is sent out to blow hitters away, one inning at a time.

		But though he owned the raw stuff to overpower batters, Benitez struggled to master the mental side of the game and picked the worst moments to suffer meltdowns on the mound.
		In the eighth inning of a May 19th, 1998 game at Yankee Stadium Benitez incited an ugly brawl by drilling first baseman Tino Martinez square in the back after center fielder Bernie Williams slugged a three-run, upper-deck homer to erase 5-4 Orioles' lead.
		The pattern continued during Benitez' tenure with the Mets, most notably during New York's Division Series matchup with San Francisco, when he surrendered a game-tying three-run blast to J.T. Snow in the ninth inning of Game Two.

		If they can really sign Benitez and still add a solid #2 or #3 starter I think the Indians will easily win their division next year.

	The Transaction Guy: Giants Sign Benitez (Site not responding. Last check: )
		I mean, Benitez is good, and has been good for a while, but he still only throws about seventy innings a year, which means the Giants will be paying him about $100,000 an inning, assuming he doesn’t get hurt.
		Benitez is an interesting case, as he appears to live at the nexus of the closer myth and the clutch myth.
		I don’t have the rankings, but I’m comfortable assuming that Benitez was higher-ranked than Vizquel, and as a result Florida gets SF’s first-rounder and Cleveland gets their second-rounder.

		As dominant as Armando was last year, there was still a collective feeling of unease among Mets fans whenever he took the mound, which usually didn’t dissipate until the game was over.
