Man oh Manny

What do you think of the decision to put Manny Ramirez on irrevocable waivers? Will another team -- (gulp) Yankees -- take on the $104 million remaining on his eight-year, $160 million contract? If no team claims Ramirez, will the All-Star slugger get traded?

I think it is a good move. Manny is a very good hitter, however, the rest of his game does not add up to a $160 Mill. player. I think it would free up enough money for the sox to go after a legit #2 pitcher (Colon, Millwood) or position player such as Vlad Guerrero. This being said, I'm not sure if anyone is crazy enough to pick up his insane contract (Georgy porgy??)

It's a clear example why John Henry was not the right fit to own the team. He just can't afford it. Brig back Mr. Dolan and you have a championship banner. Next to go will be Nomar to the Dodgers. Matsui (shortstop) welcome to Fenway park. Manny will be a met because Steinbrenner needs to sign Andy Petit and another starter.

George Steinbrenner is already salivating all over his checkbook. What are the Sox thinking?

As a lifelong Red Sox fan and now living in enemy territory NY,NY I say get rid of the bum - he is a detriment to the team and we can use the money for another frontline starter....Let the Yanks sign him and deal with the headaches!

I think it's a great moved to allow him to go cry somewhere else!!!

Mark, Peabody


If they lose him, they better sign Vlad Guerrero to replace him--Ortiz, Bill Mueller and Trot aren't going to carry the ship for an entire season.

Good riddance! I'd rather have a player like Millar. Too bad Manny never adopted the ways of a great player like Paul O'Neill was. Let him go, the Red Sox will survive.

sure....go ahead and waive him....he'll probably wave back....what !?!....he is a little slow....!
