Hell, maybe a retarded, unreliable Manny is worth it for $15 million next year. But $120 million for 6 years or whatever he wants?

All I'm thinking is that if the Red Sox won the WS last year, we'd not hear half of the anti-Manny stuff as we are this offseason. It almost seems like Sox fans are trying to console themselves, saying even though we lost in the ALCS, it would have been worse with Manny or something.
$120 for 6 is obviously a negotiating point. Though if I was the Dodgers, I'd give him $20 a year for... 4 years.
