It's getting close

[MC Hammer]

i like tony too but the writing was on the wall they went out and got loretta.

Yeah I just hadn't really thought about it in a while until I saw your post.

If we could manage to get some prospects or a good proven lefty reliever for Tony G that would be great we dont need anyone else OR package Wells and Tony for something

[Cityofchampions33]

Yea, he could be used if we need an extra something to get a type A/B prospect

[jsinger121]

in an ideal situation the red sox would love to get prospects for graffanino since the farm system did take a bit of a hit this off season

[The Monster is my Mom]

I know everyone makes errors, but Tony G. did flub up that play in the White Sox series, that probably lost one of those games for them. (I'm sure the White Sox would have still won the series, though, so probably not a big deal.)

[Cityofchampions33]

Yeah, that does nothing to his reputation to Sox nation, man, I still wish that was Bellhorn or someone otehr than him.

[riverside sluggers]

If it really mattered to RS Nation, he wouldnt have had the biggest ovation at Fenway before game 3 had started. Im ready to give him his due again when he comes back in an opposing player's uniform.

[The Monster is my Mom]

I agree and I don't think it takes away from him. Its just that we sometimes do look at everything through rose-colored glasses. I just like to play devil's advocate, so that we don't all suck each other's wee-wee's too much.

Manny Ramirez arrived at Red Sox camp in Fort Myers at 9:01 a.m. this morning, wearing a No. 81 Tim Brown Oakland Raiders jersey and accompanied by his representatives, including agents Gene Mato and Greg Genske.

 

He hugged utilityman Willie Harris and old friend Enrique Wilson before retreating into the clubhouse.

 

The Red Sox announced last week that Ramirez would report today, but until he actually arrived no one knew for sure when he’d show up.

Nice to see he showed up ... like you said we knew he was supposed to be there today but I don't think any of us were completely sure.

"My main focus is baseball right now and trying to help this team win," Ramirez said. "Let me get this straight, I don't want no questions about the trade rumors ... and this and that. You guys want to talk about baseball or whatever, you know I'm open to talk."

 

One reporter asked him if he was happy to still be playing for the Red Sox, and he responded: "I'm here. I'm here."

 

Ramirez also confirmed that he was not playing in the World Baseball Classic.

[The Monster is my Mom]

he looks like a convict in that photo

[Boston Boxer]

he looks great. He lost some fat and looks lean. The little goatee he has going on is cool. He is ready to rip the baseball. I can't wait to start the season

That series was over before it ever started. IMO without Tony G we don't make the playoffs last year.

[god is a redsox FAN]

Totally agree, I think at the end of the season, wasn't he batting at .300+. I know he was racking up some nice hits, and doing good

[Cityofchampions33]

Yeah, they have more pics of him at Boston.com, don't reallylike the dreads bute he looks a lot more in shape. Then again it could just be the baggy jersey.

Here's the Manny of 2006 haha: Rastafarian Manny

Rastafarian, as in Jamaica, Reggae, etc.

didn't he get pissed off too when a reporter asked if he still wanted to be traded?

He said he wouldn't talk about a trade. He said he'll only talk about baseball.

Chicago Cubs scout Ken Kravec was spotted observing yesterday’s workout, which may be an indication that the National League club is still interested in acquiring infielder Tony Graffanino.

What purpose would he serve to the Cubs?

OK, I didnt want to start another thread for this, so I decided to throw it in this thread.

 

For those of you Red Sox fans in the FSN North market (Minnesota, Wisconsin, etc.) or who have DirecTV, you can watch the Red Sox vs Twins tonight at 7.

 

Just thought i'd throw that out there, seeing as how NESN isnt airing the game.

the cubs may not be happy starting with todd walker at second base. who knows. the red sox will get rid of graffanino. its just a matter of who they dump him on.

I would love to have Graf, but there is no room for him here, and the Sox and Yanks dont do deals.

 

I've always liked Tony G and hope he ends up somewhere where he gets to play a lot.
