He's a very talented player, of course, his batting won't ever be as legendary as Ramirez's bat. I think he'll fit in with this young wave of Red Sox players: Papelbon, Pedroia, Buchholz, Masterson and Ellisbury. If these guys can live to the expectations, the Red Sox might be contenders for many years to come.karinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14809119587515057105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-9894459834106169322008-08-01T10:27:00.000-07:002008-08-01T10:27:00.000-07:00Maybe that's what caused the earthquake.Maybe that's what caused the earthquake.Orelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08167042485092304070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-66829451471366154762008-08-01T09:16:00.000-07:002008-08-01T09:16:00.000-07:00Good to (sort of) be back.I guess I just think tha...Good to (sort of) be back.<BR/><BR/>I guess I just think that Jason Bay > an unhappy Manny Ramirez. I've watched Ramirez play this whole season, and as soon as he started running off at the mouth about all this, he really seemed to stop trying on the field or at the plate.<BR/><BR/>I was there in Anaheim, maybe 100 feet away, when he fell down and rolled over that ball that he misplayed, and I had to look away. Even in real time, it looked like he sort of did it on purpose. If that was the sort of thing the Sox could expect for the next two months, they had to get rid of him. And he won't behave that way in L.A., so it's definitely a win for the Dodgers.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03757248678792384479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-71597675712645511072008-08-01T08:56:00.000-07:002008-08-01T08:56:00.000-07:00I do believe the Dodgers will also pick up the two...I do believe the Dodgers will also pick up the two draft picks when Manny walks away as a free agent after this season. Add that to the two that they should get for Blake, and it's looking like it might be a pretty good draft for Logan next year.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15093202941457392445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36360371.post-61907409476040382882008-08-01T08:37:00.000-07:002008-08-01T08:37:00.000-07:00Hey good to hear from BTW again.

Personality issues aside, Manny was a feared hitter. <BR/>Clearing the clubhouse of an unhappy personality in this case weakens the team. <BR/><BR/>Boston's loss is the Dodger's gain, though. If anyone can handle a quirky personality, it's Torre. The Dodgers just upgraded their lineup bigtime.JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04739020985767056403noreply@blogger.com
