That's a battle that the Rays have an advantage in. We just have to hope that our assets fit their needs a little better.

 

 

Well, they did just trade for Chad Qualls so their list of available prospects has shortened

What's Dunn's UZR at DH?

i actually went to fangraphs to look this up and then I read the post again. I’m an idiot. :lolhitting

Please get Dunn!! I don't want Manny.

He'll be a lot healthier not having to play outfeild every day.

Get Kelly Johnson instead!

Good point. And i think i stand correct to my earlier point about the Rays having the true advantage. When it comes to money, which does appear to be a huge deal for the Dodgers, we do have the advantage.

That's what happens when you've taken steroids for 20 years, get caught, and then have to come off.

No f'ing Manny Ramirez. He is a cancer.

Gotta love being loopey at the deadline! =)

Since when do we have money?

 

Since yesterday, lol.

Jeff Passan wrote an article lumping the White Sox together with the other mighty empires of baseball as one of the BIG 7, kind of like the accounting firms I guess.

ZiPS projects a .924 OPS the rest of the way for Manny.

Please get Manny. Dunn will cost us Viciedo.

 

With the Dodgers, this is simply a deal of how much money we're willing to take on.

 

I've got to take off. When i come back you people better be pushing 75+ pages about an awesome bat we got. :P

His body has been supported and beaten up by testosterone boosts for probably a decade +. His muscle tissue/bones have to be strained like crazy.

Yummy like the ice cream!

I dont want Manny, and his power has dropped low, but he still is a great hitter, no doubt about it.

Fixed.

 

Anyway, you also have to hire Manny's suppliers, and I think those are still at the gym in Pasadena.

Buster_ESPN And I think we can safely say this: Kenny Williams has officially earned the title as The Damned-The-Torpedoes-Full-Speed-Ahead GM.#trades

Buster_ESPN Just wondering: Why would the Dodgers not want to move Manny Ramirez, to shed dollars and perhaps create room for other stuff?#trades

We're not marrying the guy.

 

He's a freaking rental. A HOF RBI machine.

 

Put him in the middle of our lineup and watch what happens to our playoff/world-series odds in Vegas.

Not necessarily. Jason Giambi's body broke down completely after he came off the juice and it didn't matter where they put him.

since JR said we did before the season and again in an interview a month or two ago, they weren't just going to spend it to spend it, waiting for the player they wanted.

Has Manny had his suppliers this season? Because when he's played, he's posted a near .400 wOBA and a .925 OPS.
