Not only is he an idiot, he’s a White Sox-hating idiot. Anything he can say bashing the ChiSox, he will say it.

Show up at the clubhouse, Marrioti, you Jagoff.

Nice post. We have also discussed Mariotti’s column* on the Soriano signing in great deal.

Despite my occasional Manny-induced hysterics, I don’t think people in Boston actually want to move Manny. He and Ortiz have been too good together. Nonetheless, if we got good players (and it would almost certainly have to be multiple players for Ramirez) it wouldn’t be a terrible move. But as for “some people” saying “a prospect and a bat,” look, I’m sure Boston would love Rowand as much as Philly does (just look at how we adore Trot Nixon) but he hardly qualifies as “a bat.” His numbers are respectable but he is hardly protection for Ortiz.But you are right, Coley, about one thing: no one wants Pat the Bat. (Well, at least not in the sense of wanting him to play baseball for their team. Maybe they want him in another sense of the word.)

him in another sense of the word.)

It’s true, Nick. I don’t think anybody has any idea what the Sox would expect in return for Ramirez. Some people are saying a prospect and a bat. So, something like Phils minor league pitcher Gavin Floyd, plus Aaron Rowand or Pat Burrell.

Word on the street is that a lot of teams covet Rowand, b/c he’s a solid fielder/hitter with a great attitude who doesn’t make that much money. But the Phils can’t trade him. He became a hometown hero when he broke his nose catching that ball in centerfield last season.

Nobody wants Burrell, as far as I can tell. And he’s not much cheaper than Ramirez.

Yeah, Coley, but what are you going to have to give up to get Manny?

For the same reasons Manny is becoming more attractive to other teams, the Red Sox are becoming less desperate to dump his contract for a bag of balls and a middle reliever. They are going to actually want useful players this time around.
