I've been enjoying watching Manny completely outplay Harper so far in this series. Harper looks really lost vs. LHP and some of his at bats were pretty pathetic. His defense in RF has also been awful in this series. Manny, meanwhile, has been stellar.

I think the consensus around MLB has been to rank Harper over Manny, but their play this season casts doubt on that. One thing about Manny, his defense is consistently great. He might have an off-year hitting and still be worth 5+ WAR.

Slightly off-topic, how impressive is Trea Turner? I'd love to have that kid.

I think Manny's 5.7 to Harper's 2.0, pretty much says it all.

I read the ESPN article comparing the two this morning and thought it was pretty good. Can't believe 500M dollars is being tossed around for either player once they hit FA. I'd love for Manny to stick around for awhile, but knowing that he could command 400+ Million in FA, I think the franchise would be better served trading him this offseason.

I agree we should deal him if we can but there is going to be a small market for him. Outside of LA or NY, who is going to give up a bundle and afford what will be an outrageous contract in two years? I fear we may only get 50 cents on the dollar back in value for him because of his impending contract demands.

I really like Manny, but I do not see us signing him unless he REALLY wants to stay in Baltimore more than he either wants to play on the West Coast, play for a bigger media market or get paid the max deal. In other words, I think the kid is gone. The list of teams who could afford him and need him is likely 5-6, but those teams are the big boys. If you were to trade him you would rob a good farm system IMO.

Yes, I have argued that Manny is the better player because of the position he plays. We better sign him asap or forget about it.

Boston

Yankees

Mets

Giants

Dodgers

White Sox

Blue Jays

Nationals

I think there are a bunch of teams that could afford $30M+ a year for a player like Manny.

I've been tracking these two closely since they were drafted and sometime in the last week Manny has passed BH in career hits, despite having 160 less PAs.

I'll take MM any day of the week, starting with a better personality and go from there.

SIGN MANNY

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By Safelykept · Posted

      Smith and Bowman signed Milb contacts, stop period. which means if they not have 6 years MLB service they make minor league money if they are in the minors. Albert signed a one guarenteed contract, 740k. Itwas A Milb contract to keep him off the 40. Even if he got DFA or never pitched one inning of MLB he still makes the 740k. He was good enough to demand this contract and get it. Smith and Bowman were not.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      By Warehouse · Posted

      Just because you sign as a free agent doesn’t mean you aren’t subject to the rules around 6 years of service time. For instance, I don’t believe Burch Smith or Matt Bowman can elect free agency unless they are outrighted, released, or non-tendered. However, there are examples of foreign professionals being eligible to elect free agency early - for example Shintaro Fujinama last year.  It’s not part of the CBA, but presumably the commissioner will approve that special covenant as part of an FA deal if the player has at least 6 years of experience in foreign league.  It’s possible they would let Suarez combine his 1 year MLB service time (prior to this season) with his 3 years in NPB and 2 years in KBO.  And it’s possible they let Suarez write these terms into an MILB contract that had split MLB terms.  It wouldn’t have been my starting assumption, but it seems plausible.

      Jim'sKid26 ok down in Ashville

      By George Zuverink · Posted

      Here I am checking in. We and our condo on the east side of Asheville made it through unscathed. On Tuesday we flew into DC and moved into a hotel in Falls Church. Our son, Eric, ordered us to make that trip and made all the arrangements because we had no internet and limited cell service. We expected to stay a week while electricity is restored and then we learned about the dire water situation. We are moving in with Eric and his family who have been supporting us in every way possible, anticipating needs and things that would help us. Our daughter, Robyn, and her husband, Ken live about 30 miles west of Asheville , Waynesville, had no damage, never lost power or water. Today they rescued my car from $30 a day hourly parking, threw out everything that was beginning to make the condo stink and tied up  a few ends we left loose when we left Dodge in a hurry. They are, collectively, the loving, supportive family everyone should want and have .

      At least Joe Jackson seemed to be a decent human.
