Manny being ManN.Y. ???
News from the AP is that the Yanks are “pushing hard” after Manny and are mulling offereing him a 3 year deal worth $22-25 million per season.
I know what you are all thinking…”we dont need guys like him” and what i say to that is YES WE DO!
Manny Ramirez could possibly be the best right handed hitter of all time and would completely erase the possibly signing of Mark Teixiera by the Dead Sox. When he is focused he can not be stopped and just imagine how focused he would be during the 18 games played against Boston. This is also the guy they need to protect Arod. That combo would rival what Manny and Papi did in Boston.
The other voice I hear is “where will he play” “what about Matsui”. What I say to that is the Yankees can worry about that after. Manny can DH play LF of even RF (although that is not recommended)
I say bring the Man-Ram to N.Y.!! Matsui has not been able to stay healthy, and Cashman has be exploring ways to move him over the past 2 seasons. The bottom line is that Manny is a game altering force that few, if any uin MLB history, can match.
more to come on this…….
Update…CC, A.J. OK….What’s Next?
Got Melk or not!
First off i would like to update the Melky for Cameron situation. It appears this deal will get don and the hold-up appears to be that the Yankees are trying to dump some dead weight in Kei Igawa and the Brewers do not want to pay much, if any, of his ridiculous $12 million salary. Who could blame them! While Igawa could possible become serviceable in the Senior circuit it is painfully obvious to Yankee fans he will never make it in the Bronx.
Yank’s adding Tex or Manny too?
According to many people close to the organization the Yankees are still seriously involved in the Mark Texierra sweepstakes. It has been largely reported that the Red Sox and Angels are the main players with the Orioles and Nationals also making offers, but it appears the Yankees now feeling confident about the rotation are ready to add a little protection for ARod.
But the same connected voices insist if the Yankees don’t land the switch-hitting first baseman, they will turn their money toward controversial slugger Manny Ramirez.
“If they can’t get Teixeira, they are right there on Manny,” an official with knowledge of the Yankees’ plan said yesterday.
It remains to be seen if the Sox are willing to go to the length or amount that Tex’s agent Scott Boras is looking for. While the Angels have already offered 8 years and at least $160 million the Sox seem to be willing to go above that yearly amount but not the length of contract.
One year after Santana…
It is amusing to me to listen to all the hatred and negativity surrounding the Yankees recent moves. One year ago the Brian Cashman was crucified for not giving up Phil Hughes in order to get Johan Sanatana. Cashman did not want ot lose the top prospects involved and pay Sanatana $137.5 milion and the Yankees paid for it with a 3rd place finish. Now this year Cashman goes out and gets 2 great starters and the Yankees are villified for it. So it was terrbile to not get Sanatana, and Yanks are ruining baseball because they paid basically the same contract with an added year to CC? Is it me or does that sound mildly ridiculous?
The fact is that the Yankees payroll is currrently less this year than last even with the addtions of Sabathia and Burnett.YES IT IS!…Look it Up!
