July 31, 201015 yr QUOTE (Knackattack @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 12:48 PM) Has Manny had his suppliers this season? Because when he's played, he's posted a near .400 wOBA and a .925 OPS. I think we've seen from guys like Bonds that the strengthening effects wear off gradually over a few seasons in some cases, but the damage/injuries can happen at any point because the muscles have taken such an incredible pounding.
July 31, 201015 yr QUOTE (daa84 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 11:49 AM) yeah i dont want DH's with .317/.409/.516 either...id rather we kept kotsay *giggles*
July 31, 201015 yr The Manny nostalgia would be crazy if we get him. I don't care about the $16 million anymore.
July 31, 201015 yr A hitter will hit. Steriods just add more to it. Would Manny have 550+ homers for his career without steriods? No. But he would definitely have over 400.

Well then maybe we should get him for these 2 months while they're still in effect.
July 31, 201015 yr Sox want Manny because they think Ozzie can handle him. http://twitter.com/dylanohernandez/status/20004140564

July 31, 201015 yr Let's note 1 thing...Manny's had a total of 220 PA's this season. Mark Kotsay has 253. Mark Kotsay has played a lot more than Manny Ramirez.

July 31, 201015 yr QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 12:52 PM) Why is he on the DL? This time, strained right calf, 3rd time on the DL this season. He played 1 game after coming back from a strained hamstring and then was pulled with tightness in his calf. He's basically been gone since late June.
July 31, 201015 yr QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 11:52 AM) Why is he on the DL? That's what he does when he doesn't feel like playing.
July 31, 201015 yr QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Jul 31, 2010 -> 11:53 AM) did Manny get a NTC? Pretty sure Manny would want to come here.
July 31, 201015 yr Kostsay is terrible, basically anything would be an upgrade to him at this point, using a basic stat of OPS+ an average hitter would be 26% better than Kotsay.

Sure for nostalgia's sake he sounds good but the dude can't stay healthy.
