NIGHT STALKER Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Manny Ramirez doesn't fit the Yankees' desire to get younger and more athletic, but several industry sources believe the Yankees will make a serious push for the free agent to play right field next year. Though GM Brian Cashman says the top offseason priority is starting pitching, he did not rule out interest in the 36-year-old Ramirez.

faba Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Why is the big question-once he gets this last big contract expect him to not care that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 A 3 year deal maybe. 5 year deal, no way. They should actually not even consider him either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawn306 Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 Manny to me is the most interesting non pitcher free agent out there for the Yankees. You have a guy here who hits no matter what the situation. He is an all time great hitter and would bring the Yankees something they haven't had in the past couple of years as a guy who can get you that hit in a big spot. And you just know that Manny going to Boston as a member of the Yankees is something that Hank and Company are just drooling over. The downside is that the guy is a friggin nut job. Bringing Manny here could make Billy, George and Reggie look like Romper Room. He would give the Yankees the jolt in the batting order that they desperately need. The bigger question is would they be willing to deal and look the other way with his shenanigans. If it were me. I would probably think long and hard about it but in the end I wouldn't bring him in because I think it would just bring alot of problems to the clubhouse.

anskyruben Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 And you just know that Manny going to Boston as a member of the Yankees is something that Hank and Company are just drooling over. . Ding Ding Ding we have a winner !! That is why Manny is going to produce in a Yankee uniform. He wants nothing more than to stick it to Boston. He will also add something to the Yankee lineup that is lacking. CLUTCH HITTING. Enough of the chemistry in the clubhouse crap. The Yankees of the late 70's didn't have that and they won. This team needs consistent hitting and giood pitching. Give Manny what he wants for 3 years and he will be in pinstripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHT STALKER Posted October 31, 2008 Author Share Posted October 31, 2008 I can't imagine Manny getting a haircut to play for the Yanks. You would think a fat contract would make any guy get his locks trimmed...Manny is not like any other guy...he's out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vudu Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 The Yankees need to get younger, the last thing we need is another 34+ yr old on the team. 3 yr deal mAX, anything above that is ridiculous. I want Texiera! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His reason for wanting out of Boston (as stated by him & Boras) was the fan & media scrutiny he received. If he ends up with the Yankees he is going to be hated up here for being a hypocrite.

Zeebers Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 I would rather they signed Griffey. Why? Griffey is an all time great, but at this point in their career. Griffey as a hitter is not even a pimple on Manny's buttocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JETSFAN5180 Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Manny Ramirez is the BEST pure hitter in baseball. The Yankees need to sign him and Griffey so they can once again hang the pennant.Only this time in the new Yankee Stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is past his prime but pre injury arguably the best ever to play the game. If not for injuries a sure top 5 of all time and possibly #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
