Manny Ramirez

[ZANYMASTER]

Looks like he's on the way to Florida and losing him will be big for the Red Sox(who I hate).He's their main RBI guy and a sure hall of famer.The Marlins will now win the east with him most likely.Jason Bay is NOT Manny but a good hitter.Let's see what happens.He wanted out so badly,now he's got his wish.Too bad he can't come to NY to play for my Yankees.

 

[Tangs Rule]

As a die hard Yankees fan, I don't want him. The Marlins are young and Manny will help. Jason Bay is a good hitter (not as good as Manny) but a better fielder. That will help the Sox. In the end, the Marlins fall short of the East but win the wild card and the Yankees and Red Sox make the playoffs.

The way the Yanks losing to Baltimore like that,not so sure but IF they make it to the play offs,can they go beyond the first round?Ponson and Rasner are not dependable.

 

[Tangs Rule]

This upcoming series with the Angels will tell the story. Can the Yankees compete with the best time in baseball? If they can win 3 games, I will remain confident. If they lose 3 games, call it a season. I like the pick up of Pudge, they still have a great line up and Ponson has pitched well this year so I expect good things from him. They certainly have a chance......a good chance to make the playoffs.

lol u mean after winning 8 in a row and beating the Red Sox in a series they lose a few games and you don't think they will make it to the playoffs? Have you even been watching lately? The yankees have been on fire, you can't win every game. You are not a true fan. Every year all you say is "I don't think the Yankees will make the playoffs." Yet every year they do.

Back to the subject, Boston is making a mistake if they give up Manny. That being said, I don't think Florida will pay Manny the money he needs but I have been wrong before.

I don't every want to see Manny in pinstripes, regardless of how good he is. He brings too much drama to the clubhouse.

I'm from Boston...
I dont see this as a bad trade by the Sox, they will NEVER get equal value for Manny, he has wanted out for 5 years and there is almost no way he will be a Sox again next year. While his RBI's might help the push for the playoffs, I think Bay and Grabow can nearly make up for it. That being said I'm not sure it will happen. The Pirates dont seem to be making out that well...

And the White Sox just got Griffey.

Good, Griffey's back in the AL where he belongs.

nah Griffey belongs in Cincy, his home town...where his old man played. It's a shame. The Griffey's have such a long history in that town.

 

[masterswimmer]

I don't think Manny can play 162 games with a real outfield. His offense is arguably one of the best in baseball, but his defense was perfect for a little league outfield.

I don't ever want him in pinstripes either. His prima dona attitude would not be a good mix for NY or the bombers clubhouse. Keep him out of the Bx forever. Maybe Manny and Bonds can buy and start a team of their own. Birds of a feather............

Griffey seems to have been injured or underperforming during his time with the Reds. Almost cost him Hall of Fame status. I like Grif for his gameplay, not his hometown.

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

Who?

 

[Tangs Rule]

Griffey certainly belongs in the hall with 608 homers, a close to .300 batting average for his career and 1,800 rbi's.

If he didin't get injured so often, he would pass Bonds for most homeruns of all time and everybody would love it because he never used steroids (at least he nevere looked like he used steroids.)

 

[Chongpark27]

Its going to be odd seeing griffey in a white sox uniform.

I am happy to see pudge in pinstripes, i hated farnsworth.

Manny is going to win gold glove....Not

Forida has a bad bullpen, they will not win the East. The Marlins will just rent Manny for the remaining year and then move him out.

 

[Tangs Rule]

I like the addition of Pudge for the Yanks and I love that they got rid of Farnsworth.

Neither the Red Sox nor the Marlins will be paying Manny next year. He's going to command a lot of money, probably as much as the entire Marlins team. If they do get him, I think he can help them this year.

 

[nycmat]

how many times are the sox going to go through with this>? has it happened? if it hasnt then it wont. if it did i would be extremly suprised that it happened. i have read that the deal is all but dead. welcome pudge. i cant wait to see him tonight in the stripes. griffey will be something i think.

 

[Tangs Rule]

Rumors have the Dodgers being interested. But I agree, with only 23 minutes left until the end of the trade deadline I don't think he's going anywhere.

 

[grundig5]

Wow wow wow done deal. Manny to LA Bay to Boston, prospects to Pitts. Wow thats nuts.

 

[Tangs Rule]

I'm shocked he got dealt. Joe Torre and Manny Ramirez are together...........should be quite intersting.

 

[masterswimmer]

Tells Manny that his god awful attitude means more than his offense if the team that at one time coveted you deals you away AND pays your salary for the other team.

If there's anyone in the bigs that can handle Ramirez it's Joe.
