    I pray he doesn't ever brings a glove. Could you imagine him in LF... MLB may set a record for inside the park homers with as much time as it would take for Manny to run down gap shots. And that would be just 1 team! Only place that might be a worse fit for Manny defensively would be Coors or Safeco.

    Plus didn't you all just pay out the ying yang for that Cuban guy?

    Bean is probably trying to bank on a rebound and trade.

    How long until he's busted again?

    He won't play the field. He'll have to win the DH job for the last 2/3 of the year. He'll be a part-time DH at best (for him).

    $500k for Manny isn't bad but I just don't see why the A's are bothering with him. They already have more than enough OF/DH guys.

    A's got him for one reason. Just like a lot of us do in OOTP. To put butts in the seats. He's a name people would pay to see. And he always does well with the first year with a new team (Tampa aside). If they make an extra $500,000 because he is hitting .230 then it was a success.

    Cheer up, Prov! We had Manny last year and still managed to make the play-offs.....maybe the reverse lucky charm will work for the A's.

    Re: Nnnnooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Leo.... Well done!

    Mathematically to make the $500,000 back:

    I don't know ticket prices there but I would guess $25 avg per ticket. Add in around $15 for food and drinks per person so $40 per.

    With his 50 game suspension that's 25 games roughly at home so he'll play (baring injury) 56 games at home

    $500,000/56 = $8,930 per game needed...

    $8,930/$40 = ~224 more people per game.... That's easily obtainable if he can hit 25-30ish HRs...

    My prediction is that he will not reach double digit homers in an A's uniform.

    Except fans who actually know something about baseball, like Prov. They want to personally murder the whole front office.

    It's ok Prov. The Yankees just signed a guy who on-based a point lower than Vlad Guerrero's batting average last season to be our regular DH. So it's not just your team.
