Manny

New York Post Online Edition: sports

A $19 MM per year for three years OF liability in the NL?

And I thought pursuing Delgado to play 1B was a poor decision from a defense standpoint.

I know Minaya recognizes the marketing possibilities of Latin players, but, dude, there are tons and tons and tons of Latin players. There is no need to grab a headline one who isn't a good fit. (And despite Beltran's season so far, he was a great signing.)

Soriano would be a much better fit. And worst case, you let him walk after 2006, and the Mets will have paid him less than Manny would have gotten through 2006.

From a Roto perspective, a max FAAB bid on Manny is a no-brainer.

The rest is unconfirmable, but any starting player with Roto skills merits a $15+ bid at this point.
