Yes, yes you are. Great hitter but will bring down any team morale and only cause more problems. STOP WANTING QUICK FIXES. Those have not been working.

What an idiot. Only Manny would say no to more than $20 million per year. There are about 5 million unemployed people out there who would work for less than one-half of one percent of that amount. I know it's all relative, but he really should be ashamed of himself. You could give 400 people a job that pays $50,000 per year with $20,000,000.

Dare I say it? I'd still like to see Manny come to the Yankees, baggage and all. Would certainly not be boring.

he just doesn't want to be in Spring Training for the extra couple of weeks. He will sign, even for some lesser amount, and report on his schedule. Figure him to be in camp before 3/15.

I love the Dodgers signing because now he's out of the AL.

His attitude is garbage, he's nasty, arrogant and obnoxious, he dogs it in the field and thinks it's a joke because he's "Manny being Manny", he refuses to run down the line to first and waits 10 seconds to start running if he hits it into the outfield, etc etc etc.

That said, I'll take his .320+ and 30+ HR's in a heartbeat. Imagine him as the Yankees' DH?

Again - Glad he's out of the AL. Let Torre feed him his bottle.
