Maybe Bay won't be able to play under pressure as well as Manny, we'll have to see but offensively Bay is 90% of Manny. The runs he'll save on defense would make it an overall improvement.

Manny knows that ballpark.. his defense really isn't as bad as most people think it is. Sure he's not a gold glover, but for an offense that's struggling right now and the pitching giving up that many runs.. I think I'd rather have solace in knowing I have a guy up there than can produce the run at any time. Bay plays in Pittsburgh.. c'mon. There's really (in my mind) no way he's going to step into Manny's place.. with all the fan base and be able to produce in that kind of pressure situation. This is a dumb move. If they want to move him they should just release him at the end of the season and bring someone in then.

Looks like Dunn to Tampa Bay is dead. Tampa Bay and Toronto are trying to get Jason Bay.
maybe one of them will snag him and Manny will stay put.
