caulfield12 Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 11:32 AM) We lost Cubano for Chapman, i don't know if we can afford to lose Bren for Manny. Â If Viciedo plays regularly for the rest of the season (which will never happen), he'll be back. Â By the way, what happened to kennyhatesprospects?

justBLAZE Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 11:34 AM) That's a battle that the Rays usually win. Â Perfect scneario would be Rays get Manny, all the manny talk has Rizzo lower the price and we get Dunn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank_Thomas Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 11:32 AM) LOL this would be awesome. I dont think Ozzie would care too much, I think him and ManRam are friends   Ozzie would love to manage Manny and would love to show he could manage manny.

We just have to hope that our assets fit their needs a little better. Â But a monetary battle? Â The McCourts needs cash more than they need top prospects, those aren't exactly liquid assets. Â The Rays were already burned by Burrell and you have to think Ramirez would much rather play in Chicago...although the Rays obviously have a great chance at the postseason. Â What are Ramirez's stat lines at USCF and in Tampa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 The Sox have a huge advantage over the Rays for Manny. We have money, they don't. The Dodgers can really care less for prospects if they have to pick salary up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 12:37 PM) What are Ramirez's stat lines at USCF and in Tampa? Those are going to be dominated by the crappiness of the Rays's pitching for the better part of his time in Boston. Â .333 average, 1.049 OPS at the Cell. .299, 1.003 OPS at the Trop.

Viciedo is nice but this is Manny f***ing Ramirez. Not saying I'd trade the Tank for him, but if its Manny Ramirez as your DH or Dayan Viciedo I think the answer is clearly Manny.
