But what kind of message does this send to this years team. That he won't play hard again and cares nothing about them

I'm sure Torre would love to deck him

Yep.

I don't see how he's being a jerk. He sees the writing on the wall and already knows the Dodgers aren't going to re-sign him.

I didn't gather that at all. If he wants to play next year for someone, he's probably going to play as hard as he can. If he doesn't, well then THAT would be Manny being Manny.

In the meantime, I think some people are jumping too quick to call him a jerk and a shitty teammate. At least in this instance.

i really believe that MOST of his former teammates would say they enjoyed playing with Manny.

look at the Dodgers players. they all love him

You can state a fact and still do it in a jerk manner.

How is he being a jerk about it? He said "I'm going to enjoy myself," not "I'm gonna make this season miserable for the players, fans, and ownership. frick these motherfrickers."

How about Manny shutting up and let his hitting do the talking in quest for a big bucks deal elsewhere next year? or does he plan on taking off August and resting for next season?

Then he is gonna get pelted with "are you and the Dodgers gonna come to an agreement on a new contract" questions throughout the whole season, CAUSING a distraction. Saying what he did NOW is an attempt to get these questions out of the way during the regular season.

Manny has always been the quintessential me me me player.

By the way Art I know you're a big Dodger guy. How good will they be this year?

I won't totally disagree with this, but this is not an instance where he is being "me me me."

Maybe you're right but with his rep you always look for laziness.

But the man can hit the hell out of the ball

honestly the main problem will be starting pitching.

billingsley needs to regain his all-star form, and i think kershaw can step up for us big this year.

kuroda and padilla should be good 3 and 4 starters

the rest of the lineup is the same. hopefully they can all play the way they did last year
