Funny post, man.
I still have hope for Repko being a damned good backup outfielder for us. I just wish he made more contact. And the Tiffee for Sweeney moves are the small moves it takes to be a winner. If Ned can fill these offensive black holes with quality AAAA players rather than these Sabean-esque acquisitions, we would’ve won the division by four or five more games.
As for Manny, he’s not getting more than a three year deal from me. I’m honestly not even worried about his defense; the guy moves better than I thought out there and still has a decent arm. I’m simply worried about him getting bored in LA. We don’t need a replay of what happened in Boston.

C’mon, Bryan. I have been ripping on Pinball’s defense since day one. The guy makes Slappy look like a Gold Glover.
Back to the point at hand. Resigning Manny….yes, damn the cost, the Brand has got to see the profit margin jumped with Manny in Blue. It is a no-brainer. Personally, I like three years at $25 million each. Manny gets a raise and still has time to go DH in the AL while going after his 800th homer.

yes.
yes.
…maybe.
yes.
…tough, but probably… (and in that case I just do the 5 year deal for 5 mill more :p)
Matty – loved the hidden jab at lima, I literally laughed out loud, at work, now my boss knows I’m not really working… thanks, thanks alot.
Oh, and seriously, thanks for calling out Repko’s “D” I was getting sick of being one of a very small handful of people who weren’t buying Kennedy’s BS. (Actually, I think it was just you and me for a while way back in 05…)

OK how about some Manny deal scenarios. If you’re the Dodgers, do you sign Manny for:
3/80 ?
4/100 ?
5/115 ?
How about
3/90 ?
4/110 ?
