I would guarantee Manny a 6 year deal. 10 MIL A YEAR BASE SALARY. 1 MIL incentive pay for every win over eighty/year. 5 mil incentive pay for any Playoff series won. Gives him the chance to make 40 mil a year, or 10 mil a year. He has to "encourage " his soldiers if he wants to break the bank. I want Furcal back, but he needs a very full examination, because I am not sure those throws were all nerves, or disappointment about falling behind in game 5. Werth hit him pretty hard, too. Furcal is very important to get a team off to a good start in 2009. No doubt, he could get hurt. He does play much harder than a lot of guys.

I agree that if Furcal is healthy....he's the guy to get it going. Lowe is up and down...would be better with a cushion of runs once in a while. You're a genius if you can get Ramirez to sign for incentives....he'd think you're challenging his manhood.....but he'd be a steal at 10mil with incentives,imo.
