He is apparently doing some extensive training...at least that's what Dibble and Kennedy reported on The Show on my way home from work today.
If I was a teammate of Manny's, I think I would have to accept that he was a superstar, and they have their own status. Yeah, it's Manny being Manny...but IMO, he has earned the right to be "Manny". And I think his teammates are used to it by now, and don't let it affect their training.
And if he missed the entire spring training...I think I would still have faith he'd come in April 1st and hit a home run or two....
So I really don't care! As long as we still have him and he's still got those numbers.
