That's true, but can you really blame them after that disaster with Andrew Jones????? I would be a bit skittish I can assure you.
My thought is they will not pay Manny what he wants and that is too bad. He was awesome for them. Fact is, he is why they made the playoffs. Garciaparra is too old and they really need to look for another starting pitcher. They have some solid players in Furcal (if he stays healthy) and DeWitt. I do not know the story on Casey Blake but I would love to see him stay. Dump Nomar,Jones, and Kent (if he does not retire). Use the 30 plus million to get some pitching and find a way to keep Manny!

I know that in the Red Sox case it was too little, too late. Lowell was out, Papi wasn't hitting well and Ellsbury didn't make the fireworks he did last year. They both had a hell of a season though and there's always next year. Still pretty heated about whether or not the Dodgers have the balls to spend real money and try to win or if they are content to be mediocre without top flite players. It's easy to have guys like Manny when someone else is paying his salary for you.
