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?!  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

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

You guys keep answering a question with another question! Let me say it this way.....Is Manny worth $20,00,000? Period! I don not think the Sox are going to pick up an option on Manny that is going to pay him $20,000,000 a year for 2-3 years! He is 38 years old!!!! Heck they have already tried to unload him a couple times including putting him on waivers just to get out from under his inflated contract....and that was when his numbers were respectable!!! He is gone kiddies.....get used to it!

Isn't Manny on pace for 35 home runs and over 100 rbi this year,and how many games did he play last year?
Larry, I agree his time here is coming to an end but the Sox still need to replace him with someone
I beleive thay have the option after this year and next.Dont forget they signed Manny, what 7 or 8years ago for the $20 million a year...As unbelievable as it seems to sign someone of that caliber now would cost about $25 mill a year..
