Manny only has like two years left on his contract. Manny to Texas would be a huge move.

If we get manny, then it makes trading arod one of the 10 stupidest decision in the history of sports.

I like Garland, but Danks seems a bit much for just him. He's only had one real good year.
Brian Anderson is an interesting possible replacement for you guys to replace GMJ, he's looked pretty good from what I've seen of him.

I'm fine with trading Danks in the right deal, and I like Garland, but I'm not sure I like Garland that much. If Danks was the only high level pitching prospect in the deal, no Hurley or Masset, and Brian Anderson was also coming this way for some other prospects, I'd have to think about it.

We might regret trading Danks, but sometimes you have to take risks, and at this point, I'm ready to compete now to try and keep Young and Tex around after 2008. That's what JD is pointing to, competing before 2008, that's why Garland is apparantly a target. I'd rather trade Danks for a pretty darn good pitcher who's under control for a couple years than suck next year, suck in '08 while Danks is taking his licks as a rookie, and then lose MY and Tex.

He also wanted to win now and there were several reports that he wanted out of Texas. That can really harm a baseball team where good teams generally have GREAT chemistry, like we did the year he left. Manny is a very strong bat. He could put up CRAZY numbers here just like AROD did. Yeah it would make the dollars crazy regarding the swap for AROD and Manny coming on board, but damn it if it wouldn't help us win. And besides, he almost spent 40ish million dollars, (30 plus the guys salary), for that Japanese pitcher. Maybe he is ready to raise the payroll a bit. Thiggy is right - it is time to start winning or our main guys are soon going to want out when their contract expires. Remember, Manny's personality would fit right in around here and would be a welcome vs. a guy like ARod. If we could actually make the playoffs, Manny is a guy you could depend on for production as well, as opposed to another heavily mentioned star in this post. Give me Manny any day of the week.

I find it utterly hilarious that a guy who openly admits he doesnt give consistent effort would be more liked than Arod. Playing with one of them would really piss me off, and its not arod.

Also, if you think: 26 Games Played 103 ABs 6 HRs 16 RBI ...is utterly dominant, well, you are a fing moron! Those numbers above are his career playoff numbers minus the last two years' divisional series. I think that puts him on pace for roughly 36 HRs and 96 RBI, which we both know is way less than his regular season numbers. From 97, (his first actualy playoff experience - he had 2 at bats in two other games prior), to 04, his annual average HRs/RBI was 43/119, (AND I AM INCLUDING HIS 23 HR/84 RBI 97 SEASON AS WELL). I use 97-04 because you used those years for his playoff totals when calling him utterly dominant. Trust me, when we factor in his overall playoff numbers and overall regular season numbers it gets even uglier! Lets take a look: 35 Games Played 132 ABs 6 HRs 16 RBI Hmmm... Some numbers increased while others remained the same. Lets look into this now. Those numbers above put him on pace for roughly 28 HRs and 74 RBI. Hmmm... His annual HR/RBI average from 97 to 06??? Yeah, that would be 42 HRs and 120 RBI. Those number comparisons aren't pretty for THE GREATEST HR HITTER OF ALL TIME!!! Isn't that what he will eventually be? Most everyone believes he will catch Bonds, (we know he is breaking Aaron's record), and he damn sure produces in the regular season. Face it dude, this guy does NOT deliver in the postseason any where near the way he does in the regular season. He gets a great deal of hits in meaningless situations and doesn't get the big hit with the game on the line. Where do you think his career numbers put him on the all time postseason numbers list??? I won't even post that! He sure is utterly dominant!!! Numbers are a bitch, huh? Oh, and why don't you respond to some of the other stuff I talked about? Maybe the chemistry stuff and him not wanting to play for us. But you would still prefer him on the Rangers? Dude, that is, in your words, "quite frank stupid"!

Hahaha... Sorry... He has a career .305 batting average in the post season!
That too, like his 6 HR and 16 RBI, makes him utterly dominating! Dude, you are a fucking idiot and you continue to put yourself in a corner by backing stupid opinions without the facts and then getting web-bitch slapped! So be it!

EDIT - I had him with a .305 BA because I didn't factor in his last year... He is actually at an utterly dominating .272 for his career Post Season BA!!!

what is the point of posting numbers including the last 2 years when ive already admitted that they dipped the last 2 series hes been in?
The numbers I said were "utterly dominant" that you keep harping on and the ones your posting are clearly different numbers... The numbers I was talking about look more like 320 ish, 560ish and 400 ish which are pretty darn dominant.

Of course he still has 20 HRs and 48 RBI to hang his hat on! He played more games???? Oh, well I guess that is because HE CAN HELP IN LEADING HIS TEAM TO THE NEXT ROUND OF THE PLAYOFFS RATHER THAN ON HIS FING COUCH!!!

also that homer rate that you were bitching(6 in 26 games) is fairly similar to manny's 20 in 81 games... Arod has had as many UTTERLY DOMINAT series as hes had stinkers (2 of each) yet all you ever hear about are the stinkers...

Look dude... Bottom line, I think Manny helps us - a lot. I made a comment just digging on ARod regarding playoff numbers and you want to jump on me and make some pretty ridiculous accusations. I hadn't viewed either guy's numbers prior to that, but I knew that ARod had not played NEARLY as well in the post season as in the regular season. What I am trying to say is, this whole MY DICK IS BIGGER THAN YOURS is retarded because it won't matter anyway. Hicks doesn't have the balls to roll the dice again with another huge income slugger, (much to the ignorant delight of you), so this is all just BS talk.
Screw it, I am going to play 360!

Also about the playoffs extra games stats, I guess we should just go ahead and cut mike young because he doesnt do a good enough job of leading this team to the playoffs and to later rounds instead of being on the couch...(Im not serious about cutting mike young and on the trading him front it would have to be for some serious pitching) Anyway im tired of this retarded argument so im going to move on, I think we need pitching but we do need offense too which was the jist of how this argument started. I couldnt agree more, we do need more offense. When I figure out how i think we should get it ill let you know. Spending 20 million on a horrible outfielder that only shows up some of the time isnt the way to go about it though. Let alone giving up stud prospects to get him... That just boggles my mind that some of you honestly think thats a good idea...

You love to throw shit out like "that is one of the stupidest things Ive ever heard" and "that is just such a stupid argument its not even funny" and you wonder why I love to make you look like an idiot on a regular basis. I proved your ass wrong today regarding your utterly dominant shit and you can say whatever you want about WELL HE IS SOOOOO GOOD IN THE REGULAR SEASON IT JUST MEANS HE IS A LITTLE WORSE IN THE PLAYOFFS. No dude, he is the equivalent of Brandon Inge in the playoffs! He simply is not clutch!
I am curious, just how long is that list of STUPIDEST THINGS FIVE-O HAS HEARD? Anything you don't agree with is stupid, and trust me, that ends up being quite a bit around here! What is that Ron White joke about the woman that hollers out in his concert that every soldier in PoDunkville is a bad lay??? Something about after a while she should say to herself, "Well hell, maybe its me"!

OK dude... I made BOTH points... Without the last two years and with... Both were CLEARLY not UTTERLY DOMINANT! That is the bottom line!
Spew all other bullshit you want, but he is not utterly dominant at ALL. He also isn't clutch and every team that he plays for will have the same problems with him. He will hit that HUGE 3 run bomb when you lead by 5 to put you up 8 but when you are down two and two guys are on in the 8th inning with two outs, he will hit a weak ass "my puss is bleeding" grounder to SS! F ARod!

Look, im not a big arod guy. I dont really care for him but it just makes me chuckle that people believe all this garbage that people like simmons spew that every stat he puts up is pointless.
If this is about who I liked, i would absolutely never have suggested shopping young quietly next year, Hes my post clark and greer and Juan favorite ranger, but Im just discussing who i think is better not who i like the most...
