Is What LA Wants

The deal that was proposed to Ramirez on Tuesday night would give the 36-year-old free-agent outfielder "the highest average annual value in the history of the franchise and the second-highest average annual value in baseball" -- somewhere between the $27.5 million per season earned by Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees and the $22.9 million earned by Johan Santana of the New York Mets -- according to General Manager Ned Colletti.

Manny is "worth" big bucks on a short-term, maybe 2 year, basis. If he wants 6 years, which is the rumor his camp is looking for, they'd be crazy to sign him.

He deserves the two years just for the number of butts he will put in the seats. My god they have Manny wigs for crying out loud If he wants anything more than two-three years he's twisting those braids a little too hard!

Boras is pulling those braids with all of his might!
