He needs to be careful. REALLY careful.
PCR is in eleven days, and Dunn and Abreu, to name two, are still on the market and apparently lowering their demands at least to a point.
I'd give him three years, though. I think most of that "Manny being Manny" crap was a Boston media creation without much substance, and even if he is eccentric (which we know) he'll be a hell of a hitter for three years.
Just remember that during July, when he was "tanking" in order to be traded, he had his best month of the season (before going crazy in LA).
