It ain't gonna be easy to unload Manny and get any kinda value for him imo. $57mil over the next 3 years might kinda cut down the number of teams interested in dealing for him too- unless Bah-ston throws a pile of money into the deal. Also, his "Manny being Manny" act ain't gonna play in some cities either. If Manny did his thing in a place like, say, Philly, the townspeople would be getting the pitchforks out in a big hurry.
I just hope that the Yanks don't do anything stupid like trying to sign Johnny Damon. Just like Bernie Williams, I think that he's reached and gone by his "past due" date as a center fielder. They both have similar throwing arms- none. With any luck, Bah-ston will re-up Damon for 4 more years (I hope).
Btw, I formally gave up on that Damon book finally. I tried to struggle through it off and on, but when I hit p.154, I had to admit defeat. The body was willing but the mind was weak. Damon came up with the following proclamation- "Hey, what can I say? I'm just blessed with good hair. It's turned into a Samson thing. My hair is my strength". Yup, he said that. Yup, he was serious too. Kinda reminded me of another great Bah-ston player.....Sam Malone.
Sam--"I thought thay you weren't going to call me stupid now that we're being intimate".
Dianne- "No, I said I wasn't going to call you stupid while we're being intimate".
