what a strange man.

When you're rich it's called eccentric.

[Mizzou]

Every freaking year he pulls this crap. What an attention whore.

[SouthSideRyan]

David Ortiz: Manny is definitely not playing in Boston next year.

 

Oops!

[Roast]

Pretty much.

I'd put up with his attention whoring/laziness for 45/150.

[Cubzfan64]

For what it's worth, there's been some talk that Manny may not have all that much of a problem with Boston - it could very well be that his wife has been orchestrating this in an effort to move the family to somewhere else.

[ThePenguin11]

Sorry Orioles. You're bargaining chips are decreasing. Might want to pick up a Baseball America Prospect Handbood and start scouting prospects. Can you hear me O's? No Prior, jerks.

[Demon Mike]

Manny's an odd apple.

 

"I want out of Boston, and I'm willing to go anywhere! Make that anywhere who's willing to pick up my two option years and pay me $20 million when I'm 38 years old."

also, Rosenthal reporting Phillies and Abreau now involved in Tejada talks. what a freakin' soap opera!

 

:roll:

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Pretty soon Tejada will be linked to the Raiders in a 3-way involving Marcus Camby and some Popeye's chicken.

Manny caused the NHL strike.

So the Phillies would have 2 SS's? I wonder if the Cubs would get involved with the Phillies if the Phils don't move thier SS to the O's.

According to the rumor, the Phillies would move Tejada to thirdbase.

I wonder why the birds don't ask for Rollins too? Does Tejada actually have good enough stats to project as an impact 3B? I'd give a lot for him as a SS but not as a 3rd baseman.

[waffle]

on the radio just now Manny DENIED he said he's staying and reiterated that he would welcome a trade...

what do we know about the credibility of Rosenthal? It seems to me that he is always making these things up or something? Obviously he has a large outlet, which means he has been something in the past, but these large reports are simply confusing... :?:

Kenny's had a pretty good off-season so far. I wouldn't completely dismiss anything he says (a la Phil Rogers)

That would be pretty dumb. You could trade for Koskie for much less and platooning him with Bell would give you similar if not better production than Tejada.
