...they get out of 5 years of JD at 11 Mil. I love JD, but if you're not losing any cash and you're trading him and Kent for Manny... you do it. Manny's still a top 5 hitter in the league, if not top 3.
And two of, arguably, the top 10 prospects in all of baseball?
If the prospects are BIllingsley and Guzman, I'd do it in a flash if I were Oakland. And by ya'lls insinuations, that's what the rumor says. It's nothijng but a rumor, though.

Manny is going to Anaheim, that much is done. Now the Sox have to decide, do they eat half of the 57mil owed and get decent prospects like Howie Kendrick and/or Brandon Wood or do they make Anaheim take on all the salary, take on the remainder of Steve Finley's contract and a midlevel prospect.
The whole thing will unfold in the next week or so but that four way deal is horse manure.

Really, hes going ot the Angels? Wheres ur inside source? I find it hard to believe that he wont be back in Boston. regardless of what he is saying now. It happens every yr. It is just Manny being, well you know.
