Manny Ramirez as Rays DH

PrintThe Dodger blogs and media suggest that Manny is now available for some pitching help. Plus Ramirez will not be back next season in LA as he can't play defense without getting hurt. Would it make sense to "test drive" Manny as the Tampa DH for the rest of the season and see if he might like to stay here in 2011?
He could be a boost to attendance and would stir the NYY, Boston, TB rivalry even more. Could a decent pitching prospect, McGee or ?, get this done?

It would make sense to acquire him if he doesn't cost too much. It makes almost no sense to keep him.

He's still owed, what, $9M for the rest of the season?
$25M a year ain’t cheap, no matter how you cut it.

I was thinking in terms of cost of prospects, not salary. Even still, the money issue has to be considered.

he would love to play against the Sox and Yanks. he crushes lefties.
I love this idea. They would have to pick up a few million of his salary for this to make sense though.

Between Damon and Ramirez
it appears people want the Rays to acquire the 2004 Red Sox at the deadline. I hear Kevin Millar and Curt Schilling are available.

Yeah but TO hasn't been busted yet.
And if one has a problem using stats to prove a point, then use your eyes.

Ignore me.
I didn’t know what I was talking about.
If John Jaso somehow strikes out, it means you didn’t do your job right as an umpire.

I hate this idea.
One of the things that sets the Rays apart is their character. Manny would ruin this team (although it might make B.J. look motivated).
