Can We Just Agree Manny Is Outta Here?!?!
He sucks! Plain and simple! His stats are down over the last couple seasons, definitely no longer worth the $20,000,000 a year we are paying him and we sure do not want to pick up his option for another $20,000,000 for next season.....he is just not worth it! Bye Manny!  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

For $20,000,000 Mike.......is he worth that? I think not unless he is hitting 50 homers, driving in 150 runs and batting .330! You see Manny's clown act in the outfield last night??? Shameful! Have some pride in that uniform for cryin' out loud! We can do quite well without him I think! They can also do alot with that extra $20,000,000......did I mention Manny makes $20,000,000?

you gotta look at his body of work as a whole, not just a couple of years. I agree with remy and eck this conversation is aggravating mid season. And when the gobs of money he has, isn't enough already you can't help but lose a little respect for the guy. What does it REALLY matter after 160 million dollars is in your pocket?

He has already been paid for his "body of work as a whole".......now we are talking about the future! Last season he hit what.....25 homeruns???? As I said, for the money he is getting paid he should be hitting twice as many! You gonna pay a guy $20,000,000 dollars for what he has already accomplished????  |

Don't forget to factor in the amount of time David Ortiz has been injured and not in the line up ! |

Whats Ortiz have to do with it Ronnie? You think Manny hits better with Ortiz behind him? Well if that were true, why did Manny have only 20 homers last year with a healthy Ortiz? Why does Manny have 19 homers this year with Ortiz out for so long???
Mike......I am not up on the free agent possibilities for the upcoming off season.....but there has to be someone, anyone who can hit 28 homers and drive in 100 for $10,000,000 or less?? We could just get another "Varitek" type hitter?!  |

As far as I know, the Sox have options on Manny for the next 3 years so the choice is up to them.

Last season Varitek hit 17 homers, drove in 68 and hit .255! Those are almost "Manny" numbers.....he needs a raise!  |

Dont need him and after that strikeout stunt let him go! 
Lugo is gone too
, Crisp can play center, Elisbury left, Drew right, lowery SS.
Now, are we going to sign Teck? 1 year or 3? |

Sorry....35 and 100 does not get you $25,000,000. As I said.....the Sox are not going to pick up his option....they wanted him gone a long time ago!

Ellisbury is a pretty good replacement. Have Drew or Lowell hit after Poppie |

Right now,there isn't much out there..And despite how much Masarotti at the Herald keeps pontificating,Bonds isn't the answer either..

Hey Larry, Willy Mo will be a free agent next year.....we can get him back at a fraction of that 20 mil.

You guys should go easy on Manny. Build him up, then tear him down. Im not here for the popularity contest, but he has earned his. Not to mention he is batting .486 in his last 10 games. You all need your lady bug pins.

Its all contract posturing anyway. I still believe he will not be here next year, whether by his choice or Theo's remains to be seen.

I don't think the choice is his, if the Sox have an option. Unless he can bully them into a trade. |

His antics do get a little old but he did help them win 2 World Series, one of which he won MVP. He's been solid all the way through his contract. I believe they had to "settle' for him when the Sox were going after Mussina and he signed with the Yankees. 20 million is huge, but I doubt they'll lower ticket prices if his salary was gone. I say keep him right here. Him and Papi have been the best 3-4 punch in MLB, and Papi will be back tomorrow night protecting his spot in the line-up. I bet his production picks right back up.
Lugo's not going anywhere. I believe he has a contract through the 2010 season at 9 million per season. Unless there's a team stupid enough to take that contract on in a trade, get used to him!
