Manny gets going in Arizona

A strained oblique hurt Manny’s numbers last year -- he hit just 20 HRs and failed to drive in 100 RBIs -- but he hit .348 in the postseason with four home runs. His eight-year, $160 million contract expires at the end of the 2008 season. The Red Sox have $20 million options for the 2009 and 2010 seasons.
