According to an official with close knowledge of the Mets-Mariners discussions, the Mets were willing to include Benitez in a trade if Seattle sent a potential closer back in the deal.
Horwits and Mets General Manager Jim Duquette had also discussed Gordon as a potential closer, although Horwits said the Mets' "primary interest is in Keith if everything can be worked out".
The rookie left-hander J. A. Happ, who may otherwise be nudged out of the starting rotation in the playoffs by Martinez, was mentioned by Manuel after Thursday's game as a potential closer.
Stephen Pryor, Mariners – Tom Wilhelmsen is still the guy to own in the Seattle pen, but he's far from experienced, and Pryor is generally thought of as a potential closer of the future.
Aluminum indium alloys are activated at a potential close to −1.1 VSCE in chloride solutions, where a pH value of 3 is found inside an active aluminum pit.
The appearance of a rise in the anodic cd at a potential close to −1.1 V was followed by voltammetric studies.
The hydrogen permeation stabilizes the iron surface at a potential close to the thermodynamic water stability line where hydrogen evolution can occur.
These findings were explained in terms of a metal oxidation promoted by specific Cl− adsorption at a potential close to the pzc, giving rise to the formation of a surface salt film through which anions migrate.
