I am a huge Manny Ramirez fan, but I have not heard any rumors of who he will go to. Have you heard anything?

Mets, O's, Seattle, Padres, Dodgers, Giants, Indians, White Sox, Tigers, Phillies, and the Angels are all teams that at some point have been rumoured to be intersted, and most of those are just not true.\n\nThe Angels, Dodgers, Padres, Seattle maybe, Indians? are the only realistic option\n\nMost of the above teams are either not interested or have nothing to offer. The Red Sox have a half decent farm system now, they are not interested in prospects, they want/need major league talent in return.\n\nI like the Angels or the Dodgers as the most likely. The Sox need bullpen help and a big bat. Angels can give pitching to get that bat, and the dodgers can give a bullpen arm, and a young power hitter.\n\nAngels seem to be backing off Rameriz however.\n\nEveryone in Boston likes the numbers Rameriz puts up, but its probably time he left, he hurts the clubhouse with the special treatment he requires, and if he wants out, you have to wonder how long he can keep producing good numbers in a city/environment he hates - its actually a credit to his work ethic and professionalism as a hitter he always hits 35+HR and 100+RBI a season, no matter what.

He's been around forever - his rookie year was 20 years ago with the Pirates.  He's been an All-Star several seasons now, and has quite a few Gold Gloves.  I have a bunch of cards of him in my album.  I don't like that he has been taken out of the lineup, but everybody has to go sometime - retire, I mean, and he has expressed his intent to retire at the end of this season.

Did all you sox fans die during the past month? Boston will land him. Theo knows he needs to add a spark to a rotation with an old and possibly retiring Schilling, a not 100% healthy Wakefield, and a Beckett who has too many head problems he needs to work through.  GO SOX!!! 2007  (according to espn only 5 teams bid, nyy bos tex i know for sure, but the press conference will be held today so we'll find out by tomorrow.)

I'm a Mets fan, and being from NY all I hear is that the odds makers pick the Yankees EVERY year. Nothing new there. In the AL the Chisox could do it again. In the NL, who knows? My Mets are bound to improve (they can only go up!), so let's just watch and see. Play Ball!!

In the baseball business, you just never know!!! Maybe they will dump hm and trade for a shortstop OR look into free agency as a solution.\n\nChow!!

I'm going to have to dissagree with Dani about Oswaldo Sanchez. i'm also Mexican and i beleive that the coach they have has been attacked by the media (TV Azteca) a little too much, as well as "Anti-chivas" a.k.a. "Americanistas" have been attacking Oswaldo. here's the facts: Oswaldo was and has been aproached by several teams in europe (Ireland i think) to play with them. only reason Jorge Vergara (president of Chivas and Chivas USA) hasn't let him go, is because he didn't want to hold him back for the world cup. as we all see right now, Jared Borghetti, Rafael Marquez and Guillermo Franco are being held back by their coaches in their teams, and Mr. Vergara didn't want that to happen to Oswaldo. as for how far they're going to get... well, realistically, i think they can hit at least a 4rth place.. now being REALLY possitive about this, they may make it to the final, if they change their strategy a couple times... their strategy is too predictable at times.

nope!!! He hasnt been there for several months, i think almost a year. He is really humble and very devoted to his fans. Why will he do something like that in a place where he is loved???

C'mon. Can we tame the excitement just a hair. I like Alay too, I'm originally from Cuba. But the guy is 2-1 in 6 Starts. Please chill. Prince Fielder ( .298 BA 14 HR 40 RBI 35 R 5 SB) is out there in the NL. Hanley Ramirez (.262 BA 3 HR 20 RBI 53 R 20 SB). Ryan Zimmerman (.274 BA 10 HR 46 RBI 37 R 5 SB) Dan Uggla .313 BA 13 HR 43 RBI 49 R 4 SB). Plus they've all been starters on their teams since opening day. All or any of these guys are far more deserving of the NL Rookie of the Year.

It's a real tough choice to make for management.  Nady has been a huge surprise and Lastings Milledge is the future.  Omar Minaya said on 5-31 that it's Nady's job when he comes back.  They will send Milledge back because they don't want him to sit on the bench.  We'll see.  Did you see that outfield assist to 3rd

I doubt that Moreno would move the Angels.  They have a very large and devoted fan base in Orange County, a popular, comfortable stadium in a prime location, and are a major fixture in the Southern California community.  And consider this, what other large, well-known Southern California city other than Los Angeles or San Diego is there for him to move the team to?  Remember, the whole name-change plan was to align the organization more closely with the Los Angeles area.\n\nPersonally, I don't especially like the name-change, but I can understand the reasons for doing it.  Considering where the Angels are, maybe the Orange County Angels of Anaheim would've been a little better!  Not much, though!

First, to all of the Yankee fans, stay strong!!  our bullpen is shaky but the starting rotation to a good leap towards the end of last season.  also Damon's contribution to the team won't go un-noticed.  finally, with news of Sox pitcher Bronson Arroyo leavin' Bean-Town and Red's OF Mo Pena coming in, there is nowhere for the Yankees to go but up in the AL.  Can't wait till April baby!!!

I gotta agree, Joe Crede is having a heck of a year. I also think Travis Hafner should be starting(sorry, I'm a Cleveland fan).and I think Grady Sizemore should make it. Jermaine Dye is having a solid year, and deserves consideration. And what is up with Jason Varitek leading at catcher. I think everyone who voted for him should have their ballot thrown out, and their heads sewn to the carpet. Lets not forget about Tom Glavine. He should be collecting social security by now, instead he is leading the Majors in wins. I just Hope Guillen makes fair selections, and doesnt get 3/4 of his starting lineup in the game, the way Joe Torre has done in the past. Good luck Sox fans, its too late(again) for my dear (pathetic) Tribe to be thinking postseason.

There is also a rumor that the Rangers may be working with my White Sox for Javier Vasquez.  He's an awesome pitcher the first two times through the batting order, then he falls to shit.  But he will be a good strikeout pitcher.  I notice that nobody is that upset about losing Derosa.  One thing the Rangers have to look forward to is Kinsler, I see a lot of potential in that guy.  Offense looks OK, Texiera, Young and Kinsler.  Work on getting some pitching and you'll contend inthe west.

I don't think A-Rod even likes being a Yankee anymore. I wouldn't be surprised that A-rod leaves the Yanks when his contract ends.  It also wouldn't surprise me to see a huge trade happen involving A-Rod.  We'll have to see though.

Manny Ramirez or Bobby Abreu depending on which team will part with them. They need pitching, but there isn't much out there.

The Yanks needed young arms and got rid of a large contract.  Maybe the pitchers will work out maybe they won't.  But there was no room for Sheff anymore and there was no way he was going to play first.  Anyway he's been a real jerk the last few months.  I liked him, they will miss his bat, but they need young arms(hell just younger players period).
