Don't get me wrong, Bay is a solid player. But in no way is he Manny. Manny gets on base more. Has better plate discipline and can swing at anything.

I also think Manny's numbers will decline in Dodger Stadium, but he is a solid addition nonetheless.

Stop making me defend him!!! LOL.

I think he needed time and the lack of pressure in Pitt will help. But you are right. He was brought up too fast.

Manny can hit anywhere. Of course his career home splits will go down, but he'll be fine. Great hitters can hit in any park.

The bottom line is this move (regardless of clubhouse antics) gives the Dodgers a possible boost of improvement in run support, which we all know is needed. It gives them a better chance, and that's all that matters. They're paying nothing for the guy whose slugging percentage is awesome. Sure, one man can't be the offense, but he sure as hell can revive one that is toiling in the depths of doom.

Let's just hope (and pray) Manny adjusts to NL pitching well.

Go Blue!

He can. That is what seperates him from Bay. I should clarify that I meant power numbers by the way.

Im no baseball expert...does someone want to post the new improved starting lineup?

Pierre looks more like a SS.
