Do you realize that this guy was the only offensive force on one of the worst teams in baseball, and yet you could still project him for .280, 20-30 HRs, 80-100 RBI, a handful of steals, good defense and far fewer headaches? Why should Manny even be mentioned in the first place when we got a guy who could pull those kinds of numbers ON THE PIRATES?! BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

I agree. When JayBay first came to town, like the others...I made the Manny comparisons mainly because I was so pleasantly surprised what a QUALITY PLAYER we got in a trade that everyone knew we desperately NEEDED to make. And now...he deserves our attention and respect...SOLO. The guy is a legit star and the more time he spends in the AL East, the clearer it becomes. His humbleness and ability to just play the game is welcoming. I got some serious LOVE here. JayBay just fits in with the boys. Here that Theo...JayBay's value is going up with each and every game. Call his agent...NOW. Get it done. He is what we need LONG TERM in front of the Monster. Matt Holliday is not coming here, nor is he better than what we have in our sunflower of PERFECTION.

It's a whole new era, especially *when* Theo signs him to an extended contract. He can hit and he plays the Monster extremely well. He didn't need an adjustment when he came over from the NL.

I have been in like with him since the day he stepped onto the field. From all accounts, he has a great work ethic, is a conscientious and considerate team mate and team player, gets the job done in the field and at the plate, values what it means to have an opportunity to play for the Red Sox, and has expressed his desire to stay. What more could you reasonably want? I'm sick of reading negative critiques of his stats by the baseball stats wonks. Stats matter, but if they were everything, Dr. Steinbrenner's "Frankees" would win every year. Memo to Theo. Get Jason Bay signed. Now. Please. Thank you very much. Absolutely.
