Manny Ramirez to LAD, Bay to BOS, Prospects to PITT

[Vanilla Ice]

Would the White Sox be a good fit for Manny? I just can't see an NL team going after him as hard as an AL team would.

 

Considering they have two of the best corner OFs in the league (at least for this year) in Carlos Quentin and Jermaine Dye, I'd have to say no.

 

 

Do they have a good DH too nilo? I wonder since Manny wants to leave if he'd accept being just a DH as well.

i think that Thome is their DH

Thome is no Manny but he's pretty good.

[rchap24]

No chance the Sox get Manny besides having solid corner OF's they also have no prospects or anyone that Boston would be after. Fields maybe since Lowell is older, but I don't think they'd be after a 3B who the Sox already say cant play 3B.

Exactly. And I don't think Manny would want to DH. Although he probably should DH (although hes much much better in the field than a lot of people give him credit for), that would significantly lessen his value going into his walk year (if he has his way).

would you trade Soriano for Manny?

 

I would because it would allow us out from Soriano's contract and Manny will be a FA at the end of the year. We'd have our bat for the stretch and then sign Dunn in the offseason. :D

 

Topping the worst OF defensively of Manny and Soriano....adding Dunn! Imagine that of, yikes!

 

I wonder what type of money Dunn is going to get.

 

Well, under my scenario Dunn would play LF, Fukudome in RF, and a yet to be determined player in CF.

 

I know vance but the thought of it made me want to buy season tickets just for the entertainment value in the OF alone!

 

Imagine how fun it would be to watch Dunn launch balls out of Wrigley that might land on the roof tops across the street.

 

It would be nice. So you'd basically trade Dunn for Soriano?

 

yes, because I think you could get Dunn for less dollars and less years than we committed to Soriano. I think while they are different types of hitters, they bring basically the same value as a hitter.

 

Really? I think Dunn brings much more value as a hitter. Not sure how much is offset by the defense, but I don't think it's enough. And Soriano seems to be breaking down quickly.

[CuseCubFan69]

Just had a funny feeling the Sox would try to make a big bang in the market and Manny would be a heck of a bang. I suppose unless they traded Dye for Manny they wouldn't make a deal for him.

I heard on xm that since they didn't get Texiera the Dodgers are interested in Manny. They definitely have pieces Boston would want.

I would have to think any Manny to the Dodgers deal would have to include LA parting with either Kemp or Ethier.

 

Perhaps Kemp and Hu for Manny?

I heard something about a Manny for Kemp rumor. Am I the only one that thinks the Dodgers would be idiots to do that deal? If the Dodgers are willing to part with Kemp for a rental, can we sell them on Edmonds? He's tearing it up and a heck of a lot cheaper than Manny. We'll even swap young SS.

 

Edmonds and Cedeno for Kemp and Hu. They can have Eyre too.

Manny wouldn't necessarily be a rental. He's got two options I believe, plus the Dodgers have the funds to give him pretty much whatever deal he would want.

 

Now, that doesn't mean I'd give up one of the best budding stars in the game today for him, but he wouldn't be a rental. I could see Colletti doing the deal I brought up, though.

I thought Manny's demand to waive his NTC (or 10/5 rights, whatever it is) was that his options not be picked up. Though the Dodgers have the funds, are they really going to pay Manny $20m next year? They already have JP, who can't play CF, and Jones, who can't play CF. And JP's there for 3 more years.

 

I wasn't really serious in my offer. I just like the idea of selling high on Edmonds and really would love to get Kemp before the Dodgers hire some non-moron to run their team.

He doesn't want his options picked up, but I'd say he'd settle for a huge payday even if he doesn't hit the open market. Knowing Colletti, I could see him offering a 4/70 type deal to Manny - which likely would be enough to get him to sign.

 

And 58 of Andruw's 59 games this season have been in center. It may not be ideal, but he can play there adequately still.

 

I wasn't really serious in my offer. I just like the idea of selling high on Edmonds and really would love to get Kemp before the Dodgers hire some non-moron to run their team.

 

I agree, I'd love to find a way to get Kemp or Ethier. I doubt Colletti understands their true value (or any prospects' value) and it'd be terrific to fleece him for one of those two. The question is, would Hendry go through with a clear and obvious fleecing? As big into fair deals as he is, I'm not sure he'd do some semblance of an Edmonds for Kemp deal.

If, Manny equals Kemp and Hu

and

Edmonds, Cedeno, & Eyre equals Kemp and Hu

 

Then does Edmonds, Cedeno & Eyre equal Manny?

:?

My dad is a Dodgers fan, and he and I are both in agreement that Kemp should be the one guy that the Dodgers DONT trade.

Manny is a career .312 hitter. He is a .320 hitter with runners in scoring position and scoring position with 2 outs. Dunn in no way bring much more value as a hitter. Dunn's best season isn't even as good as Manny's career avg's.

A)The comparison was Dunn and Soriano

B)Batting Average? Seriously?

I meant Dunn is more value than Soriano. I guess it wasn't clear.

[Vanilla Ice]

Wouldnt Dunn be about as good of a hitter as Manny at this point in their careers anyways?

[rchap24]

I don't think so Dunn is no where near manny's average and he strikes out a ton. Unless that was just the last 5 years?

[Butterscup1679666578]

Why are we still talking about batting average?

[rchap24]

because that matters when comparing numbers of two hitters?

[Butterscup1679666578]

It doesn't.

[rchap24]

It doesn't.

 

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard explain please? First off if you basing it on OBP there probably even over there career. So how on earth could batting average not matter when comparing two hitters?
