Yes, a player is a tool for opting not to play in an exhibition game when he's been playing on a sore knee all season.
If anything, this should show Boston fans that Manny doesn't really care whether you vote for him or not.
He could start the game, take an at-bat, stand out in LF for one inning and go sit in the dugout for the rest of the game. But, no... Manny has other plans for the next few days. Probably car buying or sitting around watching DVDs.
