Rosenthal: O's and A's are teams most interested in Manny Ramirez

[Orioles1954]

If this is in fact true, I wil have a hard time seriously following this team until they get serious with me in signing/trading for quality players.

[Os84]

I really hope Manny signs with the Jays. I don't see him going to the hitter's graveyard in Oakland.

[scOtt]

Am I the only one who actually likes Manny? He's one of my favorite players of the era, I just don't want him anywhere near the 2012 Orioles.

I love Manny! I love flakes and kooks!

And most importantly like you said... not on this team! NO! N-O.... NO!

[scOtt]

I agree it would be more ideal...but Nick could be an excellent lead off hitter, SB's or not.

I agree with you here Rob. If he was a real threat on the bases he'd be like a "double threat". That's why Brian is/was so good. But Nick has a fine OBP. And he's shown PLENTY in the past... that many many times he will get him self to second base. BAM! Leadoff double.

Nick's not a primo candidate, but he's a VERY good candidate.

[BanAngelos]

This *WOULD* be the signing the O's get.. if he signs and is another Sosa, Vlad, etc I'm done with them.

I can't wait till we get AROD in 10 years.

[scOtt]

Rays:

1. Cliff Floyd

2. Pat Burrell

3. Johnny Damon

4. Manny Ramirez

Will Carlos Pena be #5?

I'm pretty sure you can play this game with most every team.

You forgot Greg Vaughn...

You forgot Greg Vaughn...

Vinny Castilla? - certainly was near the end, but I remember him yo-yoing for a few after he left TB

Jose Canseco

[Owen21]

Would signing Manny light a fire of determination for Davis, Reimold, etc. ? This could be a Buck endorsement move. Plus, Duq is aware if Manny = extra $ revenue, which PA will always endorse. He was a great hitter, yet the additional baggage & headaches that come along with him are the worriment. I'm sure glad I lived & breathed thru our glory years. Can you imagine what today's payroll value would be for the 1970 team? We would not have been able to afford it.

[Going Underground]

Manny had 17 at bats last year. The year before ,he had 9 homers and 42 RBI's.

Why are the O's thinking about signing him? Can Delgado and Bonds also make a comeback and play for the O's?

[24fps]

At this point in Orioles history, Duquette and Showalter need to be building a team not a circus.

Just say no to Manny.

[Floater]

Our AAA team is gonna be STACKED

[JohnD]

Signing Manny will be the straw that breaks the camels back for me. It'd be a long time before I ever stepped foot in Camden Yards again.

[SteveA]

You forgot Greg Vaughn...

Wade Boggs too.

[NewMarketSean]

So you sign Manny...how long is he suspended for?

[Can_of_corn]

So you sign Manny...how long is he suspended for?

50 games, unless of course he tests positive again in the meantime.
