Lil Bit Special Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 http://www.fannation.com/si_blogs/hot_stove/posts/30845-hank-the-yank-wants-manny LAS VEGAS -- Yankees co-owner Hank Steinbrenner is said by people close to him to want Manny Ramirez in pinstripes. Unlike his father, who dreaded dreadlocks, Steinbrenner the junior is said by a Yankees person "not to give a (hoot) about his hair.'' Just because the Yankees are about to sign CC Sabathia and are trying hard for two more great free-agent pitchers doesn't mean they're ignoring the offensive end of things. With about $160 million going to Sabathia, Mark Teixeira is all but out of the Yankees' picture. But even if they sign three free-agent pitches -- and if they don't get either Derek Lowe or A.J. Burnett, with Ben Sheets next on the radar -- the Yankees are mulling a run at Ramirez. The Dodgers have been pursuing Ramirez, and if the Angels miss out on Teixeira, they might join the Manny fray as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anskyruben Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I hope they land him. He will make it his mission to rake against the pukes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vudu Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 We just signed CC, signing Manny would be the dagger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Manny in left, Damon in center? If that is the end result I will pass. They need a CF, if they want to upgrade LF along the way so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFSIKH Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 We just signed CC, signing Manny would be the dagger. For what? Cementing third place? He would be a nice addition, but he is hardly tipping the scales. With Manny and CC, you have two bona fide starters in your rotation and your everyday players a bunch of nice on the wrong side of thirty players and never was.

If this was 20-30 years ago I would agree with this "wrong side of 30" theory. Baseball playes today take much better care of themselves...money has a lot to do with it.
