"$25 million a year for 3 years for Manny?? Are you out of your mind!!!!"

Maybe you are out of your mind, smartass. Manny is every bit as productive as A-Rod. A-Rod is making 27.5 million a year over 10 years. Hence, 3/75 or 2/56 (as I have been suggesting), is not even a remotely strange idea. Maybe you are crazy. Or maybe you just don't understand the baseball market.

tim i was wonderrin about your comment about furcal to the reds when you said they will look at other places ... their are sold on their rotation at least enough not to go spend big money on a starting pitcher . their bullpen was much improved i want to say top 5 in nl last year so they may add a couple arms but no big names. so when you look at their lineup

walt has said he would explore a trade to find a right handed run producer so thats got to be someone to go in LF. so they have money to spend i dont see why spend it on furcal and kill 2 birds with one stone. ss and leadoff . how much can you really trust gonzalez coming back with the same range and hitting ability after breaking his knee cap

On the ARod-Manny argument. Manny is actually the better hitter across the board. ARod plays the more premium position, both now and before as a SS, but Manny's numbers make him, by far the better hitter of the two.

There ya go. So even more of a reason why paying him 25-30MM a year on a short deal is not crazy.

Can't believe no one commented on how "David Wright" talked about hitting longballs with his phallus. Does this guy have a mancrush or what?

It would be hilarious when the Dodgers got themselves cut off from all Boras players in the future for trying to screw a Boras client.

The other scary thing about Pujols' arm being healthy is that it means the best defensive 1B in baseball gets better. Remember that this guy has a rocket arm.
