Yay I guess

At least it is a minor league deal and he can’t play for the first 50 giving someone (hopefully Carter) time at DH

Said this in the other thread:

1) Dislike because it interferes with development of Carter, Allen, Taylor, Kila.
2) Dislike because it’s so improbable he brings a significant return in a trade.

next up; Barry Bonds for LF...

maybe Matsui for RF?

Every man for himself...

Like

because Manny could become fearsome in center of line-up, for 110 games anyway. Fun fun fun. Or not.

First third of season can evaluate where Carter et al belong.

Net: Only the Eight-Ball knows for sure.
