That's all you could do is imagine. Manny was dogging it, and would've continued to do so. You wouldn't have seen similar numbers to what he's had in LA if he stayed with the Sox. Just more 3 pitch SO's without lifting the bat off his shoulder, and mysterious ailments that keep him out of important games.
He's Torre's problem now, thank God.
OK...you hate hime...and I am gonna give you the "dogging it"....but you are ASSUMING he was gonna have "just more 3 pitch SOs without lifting the bat off his shoulder".....
