You hate a guy for negotiating in what he believes are his best interests? Commie. i hate him for continuing to refuse very, very generous offers when no other teams are interested in him (at least publicly), and when people all across baseball are taking less money this offseason. but hey, that's just manny being manny. and he's as cool as the other side of the pillow. booyeah. He feels like he can play for 4 more years and he doesn't want to go through free agency again after this year. Is this really hard to comprehend? and we're already in spring training and NO ONE is willing to give him 4 years, so he's either going to have to back off those demands or play for zero more years. is that really that hard for you to comprehend? Teams need him more than he needs the money. He'll just wait it out.
