Manny will be a 10/5 guy after the season Mike

I always say "in Bill we trust" but when they say "In Theo we trust" I don't have as much confidence, I know he's no Dan Duquette, but, I think Manny just needs to wake up. Trade Millar not Mueller

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

I hate Manny's antics but there is no way you are going to trade and get anyone who is going to have the offensive numbers he puts up. I know he is a pain in the ass spoiled prima donna but the bottom line is RBI's and he is the man. Most teams are going to want the sox's to assume some of his contract too. I would hate to see him win the MVP this year playing for another team and we are paying a third of his contract. They will straighten him out I think and he will be fine. There is no way we win without his offense.

WEEI was talking with Sox brass on the air earlier today and mentioned that Manny has requested to be traded for the last 3 or 4 seasons. So maybe this is the first we heard of it publicly.

I agree, any team who would be interested in Manny would ask for the Sox to assume a large financial portion of his contract. I wouldn't hold my breath on a Manny trade over the next two days. So we are STUCK under the current terms of an unhappy 28 HR, 95 RBI guy!
