    Wiggy on hold, Are we in on Manny

    If Wiggy is not signed would we be interested in Manny? Manny would be the bat we need to have some protection for our younger hitters. Would we be willing to take that chance?

    No...No...No...No...NO! Manny Rameriez would kill any clubhouse improvement we try to make we ditched Tejada and Hernandez do we need another who is worse than both of them combined?

    No, but I think that if something happens to Donnie Murphy in spring training we may be interested in acquiring Chase Utley.

    Why does anyone think Wiggy's on hold? Didn't Roch say he was going to complete his physical later this week and get announced at that time?

    How does that lead anyone to think that we're in on Manny?

    I don't want Manny anywhere near any of our young hitters.

    The last thing we need is Nick Markakis or Adam Jones turning into a primadonna.

    Ok, I've been off the board for a few days. What did I miss? I thought Wiggington was a done deal?

    Agreed 100%.

    Can Manny play multiple positions with an average glove? And on top of that, take a deal similar to Wiggington?

    I think Manny really needs to be on a contender. When you're winning, Manny can be Manny, and it's funny. But on a losing team, no one would be laughing.

    Also, he's reportedly already turned down 1/25 and 2/45 from the Dodgers. The O's have no business offering him that kind of money.

    He's partially done his physical. Some done last Thursday, and he's finishing up this week.

    Roch said it would be done by the end of this week. (with of course a player beign waived to make room on the 40 man roster for Wigginton)

    This is really not worthy of discussion. There is as much chance of Manny becoming an Oriole as there is Barry Bonds.
