Manny Being.... a Yankee?

Why on God's Green Earth would the Yankees sign Manny Ramirez? Sure, he hits. So does Jason Giambi and Johnny Damon and Bobby Abreu and Hideki Matsui. Two of them might just end up looking for work here shortly.

Here's why not to sign Manny:
[1] He can't field worth a crap.
[2] He's slow.
[3] He's old [36 real soon].
[4] He's represented by Scott Boras.
[5] He can be selfish and brittle, which
[6] Can result in him being a clubhouse cancer.
[7] He'll want multiple years, for $20 mil or so.
[8] At that rate, why not just option-year Jason Giambi? At least he's liked.....

No, let's go with the youth movement. Stop the insanity. Now.
