Apparently Manny Ramirez was fined a six figure amount to be donated to charity for him actions in Houston when he shoved the teams travel secratary.

Bob Lobel who this morning broke the story on the fine also says there's a perception that a week after the incident in Houston, Ramirez intentionally took three strikes in a pinch hitting appearance against the Yankees.

Manny told Rob Bradford of the Boston Herald during the all star break that he wants to remain in Boston beyond this season but if the team doesn't exercise the first of his options he will leave.

Manny had other things to say and the following day Red Sox owner John Henry responded to Bradford in an email saying he found Manny's comments offensive.

This certainly could be the begining of the end for Manny in Boston as the Sox could look to sign a free agent or make a trade to replace him this offseason.

The FA market for OFs is very light with Pat Burrell being the highlight, he has power but his average is low, though he does have a very good OBP which the Red Sox look at.

Boston could make a run at Mark Teixeira either before the trade or this offseason and use him at first and move Youkilis to LF. Boston could also look to trade for a more traditional power hitting OF like Matt Holliday, thou8gh some are skeptical about his hitting numbers if playing outside of Colorado.

I dont know, they will unless they can find a suitable replacement.

I think they will seriously kick the tires between now and next 10 days on Mark Teixiera. They would have to have a deal on him before July 31 because to give up what they would have to they will want an extension with Teixiera before finalizing the deal. They could then move Youk to LF next year and put Tex at 1B.

Theres not really any power hitting OF on the market this winter so any replacement would have to come via trade.

Matt Holliday is another option, though theres concerns about his power away from Colorado.

Pat Burrell is the best FA option, his average can be a bit low, but he does have the high OBP which the Sox love.

Jason Bay is another trade option. They could also go with Chris Carter in AAA his has big bat, but questionable defense..... Manny v 2 if you will, but he's not Chris being Chris... so its sorta an upgrade.

Do I want Manny back? That depends.... I will put up with his crap if I have to, but I dont want Coco Crisp replacing him.

COCO and Manny can take a walk as far as I am concerned. I have seen them both act like a highschool kid multiple times. I am not a baseball fan by any means but if a team that is really important is playing and it is on the TV I will flip back and forth to it to watch it a little bit.

No bashing on Boston from me, but Manny and COCO espically Manny, seem to think they have no boundries. They both need to be brought back to earth.


Flame away UNH.

Not sure I said that. I was just saying that they both need a "bring me back to earth" talk.
