Will work for food.....

The free agent fenzy for 2008 is gone. Most of the big names made their homes in NYC (CC, AJ, Tex, K-rod). Now we are left with teams scrambling to fill holes with the table scraps in 2009. That is with one major exception - Man-Ram. How crazy must this guy be? Last year posted 0.322 37 121 scored over 100 runs and he is still unemployed 6 weeks before spring training! He put the Dodgers in the playoffs last year, before that he was a big part of breaking the curse of the Bambino, and before that he had Cleveland in the playoffs and 3 outs from a world championship. He has won everywhere he has been. He can hit anyone, anywhere, at any time. And for 25 million per year he can be all yours. Oh there is one thing..... Its a small thing, I don't think you are going to care but...... HE IS COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY INSANE. But don't worry GMs, I have the perfect way to calmly integrate Manny into your organization. Sign Manny, hold a press conference, and then at the conference announce that you have also signed Barry Bonds. Suddenly you have the Left/Right combo in your lineup. Most importantly, the Manny Ramirez circus will be tamed, because now you have the largest craziest circus in all of baseball - Barry Bonds. For probably 40-50 million per year you can have Ramirez and Bonds in your lineup and a national following of your team -doesn't this sound like the perfect idea for the Pirates, Nationals, or Royals? You can thank me later.

I'd love to see someone sign both Bonds and Rameriz. How long would you give that clubhouse till it collapsed? Why not throw in Gary Sheffield and see a team spontaneously erupt within ten games of the season starting?
