Both the Redsox and Rays have a Team that's good for Years and Years to Come!!! the Yanks have a bunch of Old Players that aren't getting any Younger/Better! 3515893 2008-12-02T19:14:54-05:00 11 FL The V Saint Petersburg 614321 20 Manny's 36..he wants 5/6 years at 22/25 mil per year! Hell no Cashman,,,don't mess this one up too. He's a great hitter, but the yanks don't need the friggin drama. We need to get younger players. I'm tired of even Cashman &amp; Mr. Hank considering this option. Let em go back to the Red Sock (s). Who cares..Sign Tex! trade Matsui and get some fresh legs in the outfield. Trade Cashman too! Giradi, I thought Don M was a better choice for manager, lets see what happens in 09?. Sign TEX!!! 3515203 2008-12-02T15:29:24-05:00 http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/520/992/thumb/46.jpg 13 NY Bernie McGrath Holbrook 521432 19 While Manny is the greatest hitter of this decade, is he worth the headaches and dollars? Now Tex, much younger, a swich hitter (a short porch in right) and a great glove and apparently not a clubhouse problem....take your choice! Now don't forget we have only 2 starting pitchers. And don't forget we the average fan won't be able to afford a ticket. If we get a freebie, can we afford a hot dog and beer and parking or subway fare? 3512269 2008-12-02T15:06:12-05:00 3 PA rak315 Tamaqua 589099 18 and JOBA throwing at Youk's... 3511828 2008-12-02T14:35:50-05:00 http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/202/342/thumb/images-2.jpg 359 CT mishagothe New London 202642 17 I can't wait to see Paps throw at his head. 3511287 2008-12-02T14:34:54-05:00 http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/202/342/thumb/images-2.jpg 359 CT mishagothe New London 202642 16 To Brian Cashman - Please, please, please sign Manny, 6 years at $25 million per each. signed - a Red Sox fan. 3511218 2008-12-01T18:23:43-05:00 1 NJ jmal3737 Annandale 622397 1 If the yankees take ramirez, do you think he reall ywould get a haircut yankee style? 3501119 2008-12-02T14:10:38-05:00 34 NJ mike ciavolino Monmouth Beach 616604 If the yankees take ramirez, do you think he reall ywould get a haircut yankee style? 15 i don't know about that, but after he gets his money, you can count on him being a tremendous ****, a-rod style. 3510856 24 <p>Manny Ramirez still could have one chance to come home. While the Mets have all but decided they will not pursue the slugging savant from Washington Heights, in Upper Manhattan, the Yankees clearly have not ruled out a run at Ramirez.</p> <div>Indications are that the Yankees&nbsp;are concentrating on their biggest needs first, led by a starting rotation that has only two certainties -- <strong>Chien-Ming Wang</strong> and <strong>Joba Chamberlain</strong>.&nbsp;Superstar free agent pitcher <strong>CC Sabathia </strong>is their first target, but the Yankees are one team that isn't afraid to spend in the spiraling economy.&nbsp;They are also taking a look at star first baseman <strong>Mark Teixeira</strong>. But the Yankees&nbsp;are still believed to be considering Ramirez, as well. The Yankees already have a plethora of corner outfielders, including <strong>Johnny Damon</strong>, <strong>Hideki Matsui</strong> and <strong>Xavier Nady</strong>, although the almost certain departure of <strong>Bobby Abreu</strong> -- whom the Yankees refused to offer salary arbitration on Monday -- means it won't be quite as crowded as it was at the end of last season.</div> <div>Ramirez quickly rejected the Dodgers' first offer to him of $45 million over two years, but they&nbsp;haven't ruled out another try at the player who hit .396 with 17 home runs and 53&nbsp;RBIs for them in 53 games after they acquired him last year. And with the Blue Jays&nbsp;signaling they might not spend&nbsp;big if pitcher <strong>A.J. Burnett</strong> goes elsewhere and one person close to the Phillies saying&nbsp;he doubted whether Ramirez will be a target of theirs, the Yankees may wind up as the Dodgers' biggest competition for Manny. The other obvious possibility for Ramirez would appear to be the Angels, whose owner, <strong>Arte Moreno</strong>, has said publicly that they may turn to Ramirez if they can't sign Teixeira, their top target.</div> <div>Besides the obvious advantage of adding one of the greatest righthanded hitters of alltime, if the&nbsp;Angels sign Manny, they'd be tweaking the crosstown Dodgers. The same could be said if the Yankees sign Ramirez. Only they'd be tweaking the Red Sox.</div> http://img.fannation.com/upload/user_profile/image/100/64/thumb/Heyman_Jon.png 0 NY Jon Heyman New York 10084 28122 <p>Manny Ramirez still could have one chance to come home.
