In what could be a snapshot from superagent Scott Boras' fever dreams, Hank Steinbrenner Friday told The Associated Press how much he admires Boras client Manny Ramirez, the slugging free agent outfielder. "Personally, I like Manny," said Steinbrenner, the Yankees' co-chairman. "He's one of the greatest hitters in the history of the game. He's a free spirit, for sure, but he knows how to win. We like some of the other guys, too. We just don't know yet."

But the ugly stepchild Bora$$ could complacate this wonderful relationship.

Hey Hank, I like Manny, too. Lets get him, Tex and a pitcher and see everyone in October.

Manny is to baseball what salsa is to chips. He needs to stay with the Dodgers, however, the front office may only a dodger dog. I wish manny well, He is simply a lot of fun to watch.

Cheers

Manny would make A-Rod and Abreu a whole lot better. If they get Tex too they might justify the price of their new tickets.

Hank just drove the price of 'gas' up a few million more.

Like Allstars and Cyder, I'm on the same page as Steinbrenner. He'll make a great DH for the Yankees.

I love Manny too ... send me an overpriced MLB SHIRT

Manny "Gordon Gekko" Ramirez. The Enron of Swat. An insult to the game.

The Phillies fluked their way to that WS win. They are not the best team in baseball.

If by "fluke" you mean showed utter dominance in EVERY series then yes, they fluked it up royally. They were 22 games over .500 and were red hot hitting the playoffs where other teams paled in comparison.

Of course you may be huffing paint at the time you posted this remark, so all I can say is "huff on!"

By fluke i mean they 'got lucky', 'should have lost', 'wont be seen in Oct next year', 'they phluked their way to this win'.

How could anyone trust his abilities and especially attitude for as long of a contract as he is asking for?

November 1, 2008  03:57 PM ET

Manny is NOT leaving LA FORGETABOUTIT

If Man-Ram goes to the Yankees, he will give them at least four productive years since they will be able to use him at DH and thereby extend his career. not to mention that the rivalry with Boston will probably get ridiculous ratings. Arod would probably hit sixty HR with Manny in the line up. and if the yanks get Tex.....ooooh forget about it. it will be good for baseball.
