He is not a good example for young players, but his offensive numbers might be unparallelled since he's been here, I love seeing the Sox get hits and he hits alot... and Papi would of been walked instead of hitting walk offs. its a tough call, but I like him, he's done more good than bad. But I was a Pedro fan to.
fire away.

i love his talent, stop. he's a boorish primdona, we can get good value for him. gonna see an old fashioned house cleaning this winter. just as long as they keep this infield intact- best i've ever seen.

I dont think his value is that great considering his high salary...I do think he is gone if they can get another team to take him..We shall see...If he had his act togeather he would go down as one of the greatest...To bad he is a ballplayer who doesnt get it...Forgets where he came from and doesnt take the game seriously...Its to bad...

I'm going where I'm going...

The Sox have tried trading Manny for the last two off seasons, with no takers. If the Sox are going to pay the lion's share of his $20 million a year, they may as well keep him until he's a free agent. For all of his weirdness, he's a sure fire first ballot hall of famer and an RBI machine. Trade him, and Ortiz will lead the league in walks next year

86 years without a WS win, and you guys want to unload the 2004 Series MVP for a song? If every team knows you really want to unload him, you're not going to get crap for him, and you'll still wind up paying a good piece of his salary.

He might be jaking it right now, but it's not like the Sox are in the midst of a hot race. management has thrown in the towel. You can't really blame Manny for doing the same thing the front office has already done.

And the Mets seem to be doing just fine without Manny, thank you If they thought they needed him to put them over the top, they would have worked out a deal before the trade deadline this year.

What Mike said! Without Manny Ortiz' homerun and RBI number drop sharply.

Manny may act casual out there in left but he is actually plays the wall as well as anyone and he has an underated arm. I would have him on my team any day.
