Manny Quotes

If Manny were good at anything other than playing baseball he might have noticed that gas is DOWN.

Six years is pretty absurd. The Mets are better off going after Texieria if can't sign Manny for anything less than 6 years/$150M.

People. people, people.

Ever heard of aim high, settle low? You want to start off with a high bar, and then lower it as necessary. Everybody WANTS to be the head honcho, but most of these people settle for less because they have to.

Boras is posturizing, which is a smart business move. If a GM gives Manny the 6 year deal, that GM is a moron and it's all on him. No GM in his right mind will offer Manny 6 years. None.

My guess: Manny gets 28-30MM per for 2 years. Pretty reasonable, since A-Rod gets 26MM/yr and is on a 10 year deal, and when you're talking sheer offensive power, Manny is the better player.

Boras always aim high and burns his rear when GM's force his hand and make him settle low, like the Red Sox did with Dice-K did. Same with Varitek forcing his hand after '04 and forcing him to take less to return to Boston for the 4 year deal that currently expired, A-Rod kicking him out of talks between him and Yanks last year and now this posturing after Boras probably putting that stuff out to get all the Boras- Manny mess started this past summer going.

This off season might be crucial for the huge ego that is all Boras has going for him, many of his clients (other than tex) are aging anyway and on the way down and will not get anywaywhere near what he thinks, no matter how much garbage is pumped up in the press, like this 5 and 6 year rubbish being bantered about and 150M year hogwash. Anyone that does this is committing payroll suicide and should know that and deserves every last bit of faked injury they get, trotted out ground ball, 30 ft hike down to 1b on a groundball that they get

Does Boras fail if he gets less than 6 years? Nope...it is just like ARod and the "12 year" demand he was giving...instead he goes astronomical to get something still absurdly high. I don't like him, but if I was looking to make money and I played baseball for a living...Scott Boras is the way to maximize the cash. No way 4 years/100 million is a failure (if he can even get that)

well coming from the stand point of manny, he figures that if AROD is signed til he was 42 why not me. remember we are talking about the best right handed hitter in the past 20 years. i see him getting a 5 year 100 mil deal from a team. its wont be out of the question. i think that manny has at least 4 years left in the tank.

I fed Manny all those quotes.
