I hope Thome gets a shot again. his OBP was still very good and he can still hit the ball hard. On a Full time DH basis he can work and probally give you a good 250 to 300 ab. its not that much but he will use those at bats well and effective. other note insane to hear Manny will be making 2 million for doing nothing for the next 20 year’s? holy crap that’s interesting. I don’t know why more players don’t defer so when they retire they have a nice cushion to support them for years to come

Does that mean from the handful of Red Sox games I went to and the tickets I purchased, I am still paying Manny about $.50 a year for the next 20 years or so?

What about Grady as a DH? He could still hit when healthy and wouldn’t be risking much injury even for him

I love Jim Thome on so many levels that it pains me to think that we might have to watch the burned-out shell of him struggle through the coming season.

You don’t mess around with Jim.
