If we don't get Manny - then I am ok with those two. There is just no better hitter available and that is what this team needs. And a starting pitcher. And maybe a 2b. But we have a utility infielder. “We can sign Hudson and Abreu for less than we would pay Manny!”

But Matthews Jr. and Juan Rivera? Please. I suppose one of them has to stay, maybe they would dump Matthews somehow, but a lineup of Vlad, Hunter, Napoli, Figgins and Manny would be very good. The Angels did win 100 last year. And think of the press the Angels would get scooping the Dodgers. I know Reagins just said "no way" but, I don't believe anything until the talking is done. Listen, I hope it doesn't happen, but, if it did, it would be the talk of Southern California for a long time. The stands would fill up and that young team would likely play a lot better. Time for Fred to just get it done before something crazy happens. I agree with every point you just made Romey.

Sure there are character issues with Manny, but lets face it, Boston created the "Manny being Manny" culture. They made him a spoiled brat and then tried to tighten the reigns. That is not excusing Manny's behavior he is a grown man but that situation has nothing to do with us. With guys like Bowa and Torre I don't think Manny could be an A-hole here and get away with it. So let me just say: I would like Manny back but I don't think we are dead without him. I heard on XM MLB Channel today Without him (Manny) the Dodgers are favorites in the West, With him the Dodgers may be the favorites in the NL. Tough call.
