Editor's Note: LA Wants Good Manny, Not Greedy Manny

Recently St. Louis star Albert Pujols came out saying that he spoke with Manny Ramirez, and Ramirez complained, "Nobody wants me." Apparently, something got lost in translation, as it seems that he must have said, "Nobody wants to pay me." How could he say that nobody wants him when the Los Angeles Dodgers are willing to make him the second-highest paid player in baseball? With another offer rejected, Manny just keeps showing his true colors, and it's becoming harder and harder for people to not side with the McCourts. As the economy flounders and so many people are out of work, to see someone turn down a guaranteed $25 million is hard to stomach. Every rejected offer combines with Manny's complaints that no one wants to sign him, and it becomes too difficult to keep pursuing him when Adam Dunn and Bobby Abreu are screaming for attention. A two-for-one deal containing one of those outfielders and the defensively-gifted 2B Orlando Hudson would benefit the Dodgers even more than Manny. Dunn and Abreu are young, offensive juggernauts and Hudson can give Blake DeWitt more time to grow and develop. But right now, the 37-year old Manny commands all the attention. And as he whines more and more, it's getting more and more to the point to just forget about Greedy Manny.
