Would Go Zanny For Manny

[High Stakes]

Would be unreal....Would spark a season...Championship...

 

[green machine]

Don't need the distraction, the selfishness and the sub par defense. Sure, he can hit, but given that the team also would have nowhere to put him, I'll pass.

I would take a chance on Manny but we would probally have to give up a ton to get him, and he does have a attitude problem but the kid can hit would be worth the gamble imo.

 

[AZZenny]

I'd do it just to see Melvin come unglued.

 

[Shzm13]

Id rather get more pitching

 

[TucsonDevil]

How about Chris Burke for Manny. I would back that deal.








yeah, yeah, I know... but that is about the odds of it actually happening.

 

[Desert Rat]

I'm not sure I want that floppy-mopped head case here. .300/35/100 probable, but he's got a lousy attitude and that $20M contract. It would likely cost the D-backs too much to get him, too. I say pass.

 

[Evil Ash]

According to ESPN, the Boston Red Sox and Marlins (of all teams) are seriously negotiating a deal for Manny. Evidently the Red Sox are willing to pay his ENTIRE salary for the rest of season.

I guess the Sox got sick of "Manny being Manny"

 

[Beaver]

As a BoSox fan it would really suck seeing Manny go. He is a Yankee killer. I assume Hermida would be part of their package, not sure about their prospects. I would love to see Boston go after Holliday when he becomes a FA.

 

[MaoTosiFanClub]

No.

As much as I think clubhouse chemistry is overrated, the DBacks don't have the veteran clubhouse presence that will keep Manny interested. Plus he's been regressing for a couple years now and we won't be able to afford him next year regardless.

This team can win the West as constructed and in a short series pitching is the key and we have it. I'd rather let the kids develop than take a shot at Manny at which point we'd still be inferior on paper to teams such as the Angels and probably Cubs.
