August 30, 201015 yr Now that this is basically official, any chance someone can Photoshop Manny in a sox uni?
August 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 08:40 PM) Why? He's not the Manny Ramirez of a few years ago. He's just back from the DL, and he hasn't had a great season. By no means am I against this move, I just don't see him displacing Rios and Konerko in the 3/4 spots.
August 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 08:47 PM) Any chance he plays for us tomorrow? I suppose it's a possibility: BNightengale #mlb #dodgers #whitesox No matter what Dodgers decide, Manny has played final game for Dodgers. He may be in Cleveland in time for Sox game. about 1 hour ago via web and Heyman: SI_JonHeyman manny is gone, as la is done with him. appears to be pure waiver claim, where chisox just pay his salary. 13 minutes ago via web Looks like Jon Gilmore will be sticking around.

I have no problem with that.
August 30, 201015 yr The Sox would owe the remaining salary for this season, but what about the deferred money? Also on the hook for that?
August 30, 201015 yr I wouldn't be opposed to resigning manny next year if he really wants to play for the sox, and if we resign konerko, i really like this lineup. and with peavy back, our rotation WILL be the best in baseball. Edited August 30, 201015 yr by b-Rye

By no means am I against this move, I just don't see him displacing Rios and Konerko in the 3/4 spots. He's the best hitter on the team. He'll bat third.
August 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 08:23 PM) Time to put the pedal to the metal. My preferred lineup tomorrow: 7 Pierre 4 Beckham B Ramirez 3 Konerko 9 Teahen 8 Rios 2 AJ 6 Ramirez 5 Vizquel What are the random numbers and one letter for?

August 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 08:58 PM) He's the best hitter on the team. He'll bat third. I agree he can still hit, but I prefer him in the #5 spot. If he starts raking, then move him on up.
August 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 09:00 PM) What are the random numbers and one letter for? Positions. B=Batter or DH.
August 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 08:00 PM) What are the random numbers and one letter for? Positional numbers. I think for B he meant DH.
August 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 09:00 PM) What are the random numbers and one letter for? Positions for the numbers, but the B threw me, too. Beast?
August 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (pittshoganerkoff @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 08:01 PM) Positions for the numbers, but the B threw me, too. Beast? Bat boy. Seriously though, couldn't be happier about this. My day has been f***in awful and this helps quite a bit.

August 30, 201015 yr QUOTE (Marty34 @ Aug 29, 2010 -> 09:01 PM) Positions. B=Batter or DH. Wow, I don't know how I didn't figure out the numbers.
August 30, 201015 yr 4.5 games is no joke. However, Manny is no joke. The gaping hole in our lineup just got replaced by a .900 OPS. He's going to feast in the Cell, and I hope he likes Chicago and returns next year, too.

August 30, 201015 yr If he's playing in Cleveland tomorrow I might make the drive. Probably not considering I'm going to two games in Boston this weekend, but maybe.
