Looks like Barry's going begging to the meeting,cuz noone is meeting the asking price of 18mil....dudes' got a big head if he thinks he's worth that. What up with Manny? Bostons' deadline for a trade passes...but I dont think he makes it to Spring in a Bosox uni!

It will be interesting to see if the Dodgers get 47 starts for the $47 million they paid Schmidt. He's a heck of a pitcher but I question his ability to stay healthy for the next three years.
You talking about Zito or Bonds cause I think what you said could apply to either of them. Boras is looking silly with his claims that he is getting all sorts of offers for $100 million when no one is even offering close to that. It's worked for him before though so we'll see if anyone falls for it. As far as Bonds there is no way anyone is going to pay more than $14 million for an injury plagued DH.
Manny will stay with the Sox as long as he is going to require any team that trades for him to pick up the two year option on his contract. At 2 years $35 million he has some value but at 4 years $75 million he doesn't, especially if the Sox think they are going to get someone of value for him. Manny for Peavy rumors were one of the funniest things I've read this offseason.
