If the Dodgers have to pay more for many, then they'll have less money to lock up Sabathia. Likewise, the Angels overpaying Manny would cause them to cut ties with Teixeira. If I'm the Angels, I'd rather have Manny for 2-3 years rather than Teixeira for 10. The Dodgers have no use for Teixeira but I can see them engaging in a bidding war for Manny, exaggerated by Yankee interest. The Yanks would be left with Sabathia or Tex or perhaps both. I don't think the Yankees want another 35+ year old DH making big money on this team. This applies to Abreu so please, let it go people. Thanks.

I say go for it. I believe ARod/Manny would be more popular to the fan base than Mantle/Maris ever were and as offensive as Ruth/Gehrig.

I watched every game and of course the lack of wang hurt but it was not their pitching that stunk, esp. their relief, it was as you said their hitting, so we agree. “their pitching stunk?” give me a break.

What was the problem with the Yanks last year? The pitching? NO. The lack of clutch hitting? YES! What do we need then? The best clutch hitter in the game? YES! The old George would have had him already. Sorry to say Hank is a watered down version of his old man so it probably won’t happen. And common sense Hal won’t want it. So forget what Cash and Joe want. Needless to say what Manny would do for Arod in the order. Talk about taking the pressure off. It’s all about winning here and how come I don’t feel like I sold my soul to the Devil? ------------------------------------------------------------ just because they scored a lot less runs and weren't hitting in the clutch does not mean their pitching wasn't a problem. their pitching stunk and needs a ton of work. joltin joe
