The Bums are still in second place. Manny won't save them. They also have the tougher schedule finishing off the season.
I have plenty of respect about Manny's abilities but damn, I put him on the level of Barry Bonds now. Boston is three back right now, could they be closer if Manny had not quit on the team?

I'm not sure how much more selective he can be. He's on track to draw about 90 walks this season. He's done that two other times in his career. Bay's only problem is that he's spent his entire career to this point playing for the Pirates. It's hard to get any attention when your team hasn't make the playoffs in 15 years. He's not a superstar but few players are.
Nady is on fire. 1.313 OPS since joining the Yanks.
