Call up manny

[Nightcrawler]

This team needs a shot in the arm or at least a perceived shot in the arm. Make him DH and see if he's got anything left, at least he's not crippled like Berkman.

I think we should rename this thread to "DFA Manny."

 

[RevSader]

I wish we had gotten Manny in the A-Rod trade.

Scouts say he can't turn on a 92mph fastball. No thanks.

You can't DFA someone who's not on the 40 man.

Bring him up, give him a chance. If he starts 0-20, end it.

No thanks. He's not raking in AAA at all and he's not worth a roster spot.

I'd rather see what Butler has, Manny has no future with this club, why waste time on him in the present?

If it wasn't Manny I'd agree, but come on it's Manny.

So?

What if it were Lebron James? Would you give him a shot?

No, but Manny has proven to be a HOF who's way out of his prime, so why not give him a chance? I kinda just love Manny so I'm bias. If it was any other washed up DH I'd say no, but it's Manny. I just wanna see him play again tbh.

Manny would sell tickets do it!!!

He would not sell tickets, it would alienate as many fans as he brought in

Honestly I think it would but that's just me. I don't know if I would bring him up either.

A known PED user replaces a known PED user, that sends a great message to all the Kids, Cheating pays?

Kids should look up to their parents and not sports figures.

The team is giving itself a "shot in the arm", having won six of seven, including two of three in Oakland. Also think that getting Garza, along with Darvish and Ogando back from the DL, were "shots in the arm".

We have a good chance to make up some ground in the standings this week. We are not desperate.

 

[bradw516]

Manny can't hit in AAA, why in the world would we bring him up?

 

[#1BostonFan]

He'd sell tickets.

 

[bradw516]

He'd sell tickets.

No he wouldn't. We don't have that issue.
