    I don't think Manny has much if anything left in the tank BUT it sucks that all the AL West teams besides the Mariners have made at least one cool move this offseason.

    We suck and are beyond boring
    I give rep not thanks

          very low risk, high reward signing for my A's.

          Get to see how the younger guys(especially carter) perform at dh while Manny is on suspension.

          Once he gets off suspension either:

          A) Manny rakes and it is boosts the offenses

          or

          B) He sucks or is a problem and the A's can release him for nothing.

              I agree, I think he's done, but why not spend that money on a player that will attract some media attention to the A's. Like Phantom said, low risk, high reward, and it brings them a bit of "star" power.

                You guys might end up with Magglio too.

                Its old news but it could happen if he doesn't take part ownership in Caribes de Anzoátegui.

                  Thankfully, the Orioles did not make this move. For once, I'm happy with using that phrase

                    For $500K, he's worth the risk.

                      While I would agree for most teams, $500K for Oakland is too much. They sold off Cahill and Gonzalez, knowing that this year (and probably next year) wouldn't be their year, so why sign an aging Ramirez who will miss a third of the season? Yeah, he catches fire and they trade him, but lets be serious, they won't get anything except for a decent reliever prospect or a fourth outfield type.

                      With the media circus involved, I would have stayed far, far away. Especially for Oakland, who shouldn't be throwing money around like that, even if it is $500K.

                      Yet another puzzling move by Billy Beane.........god I love that guy.

                        Over/under on how many games until Manny has an "issue?"
                        The king was shaken. He went up to the room over the gateway and wept.
                        As he went, he said: "O my son Absalom! My son, my son Absalom!
                        If only I had died instead of you
                        O Absalom, my son, my son!"
