Thoughts on getting Manny
I'm really excited about a possibility of the Dodgers acquiring Manny. I really am.
If we could get Manny Ramirez from the Red Sox without losing anyone from the Broxton-Kuo-Billingsley-Loney group (I'm willing to part with either Ethier or Kemp, but not both), we would finally land a bona fide slugger who can both hit for power and not lead the league in strike outs (like Carlos Lee or Adam Dunn-types) ;).
An outfield of Ramirez-Pierre-Repko/Loney (with Kemp moving in into RF in 2008, when Loney takes over 1B and Nomar becomes a subersub) would have the right mix of speed and hitting ability. About the only disadvantage would be below average fielding in LF/CF.
Do you think the Red Sox (depleted and/or disillusioned in their starting pitching department) can settle for a Penny + Betemit + Ethier package? Can, as someone mentioned, a first round pick resulting from NOT offering Lugo arbitration (when he should turn around and sign with the Red Sox) be part of the "informal" package.
I am so much looking forward to how the whole thing plays out :).
