Breaking News: Manny Ramirez Has Retired

According to Marc Topkin, Manny Ramirez has retired. Apparently it has something to do with drug related issues, which seems to suggest he was caught with steroids again. You know how we were talking about the Rays being in the playoff hunt if things broke well for them? This season so far has been about a total 180 degrees from what we were hoping.
That's all the information out at the moment, so we'll add more as we hear it. In short, this news - coupled with the Longoria injury - is going to require the Rays to reevaluate their season and strategy. The playoffs are quickly becoming a long shot, so our young talent now becomes more important than ever.
***
The Rays issued a brief press release:
The Tampa Bay Rays were informed today by the Commissioner's Office that Manny Ramirez has decided to retire after being informed of an issue under the Drug Program. We are obviously surprised and disappointed by this news. We will have no further comment on this matter, and our fans and organization will carry on.
And according to Marc Topkin, the Rays are calling up Casey Kotchman to replace Manny on the roster. He'll hopefully be there in time for tonight's game. AHHHHH!! COULD THIS GET ANY WORSE?
(Serious talk: why not Robinson Chirinos?)

'10: 7th in offense, 41st in defense. Division Champions. 10-4. (6-3)

Holy eff.
So we signed Manny and Damon as a package (most likely) and we lose ManRam to get stuck with overpaid Damon.
Damnit Manny. This sucks.
As you can always expect come from behind victory is when you least expect it.

Here's the statement from MLB
Major League Baseball recently notified Manny Ramirez of an issue under Major League Baseball’s Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program," the statement said. "Rather than continue with the process under the Program, Ramirez has informed MLB that he is retiring as an active player. If Ramirez seeks reinstatement in the future, the process under the Drug Program will be completed. MLB will not have any further comment on this matter

Ahh, well maybe that was the problem then.
Of course, we must then evaluate how many of the current roster he has been able to provide with the stuff, and whether or not that is what is causing the major ass breakdown in all forms of competency.
i think the rays could live without
his 1 hit in 6 games. granted, the whole team is starting slow, but it might bring out opportunity for a young guy like Joyce to step up this season at the plate. Just a disgrace how Manny’s going out.
It's oppurtunity to get Damon off the field and let Jennings play
That’s about the only good thing we can do.
Under construction
exactly
upgrade the defense at least, maybe Jennings could even cover Uptons slack with his quickness. Jennings to leadoff? I mentioned Joyce because when he was brought up, and went on a tear, his swing seemed like even a pop fly was going out of the park. Lots of potential, let’s hope the team can cover some of the offensive blow.
That's a ban, hope you enjoyed your stay

If we promote Desmond, and DH Damon, then that'll at least offset some of the loss from Manny
Damon’s D is pretty atrocious.
Go Gators!!
I don't think you tank this season, we still have a good enough team to compete
You don’t panic and trade assets, but you have to bring up Desmond IMHO
Go Gators!!
Why?
We won the AL East with this team + Crawford. Why can’t we do it with the same team + Damon + Desmond.
Go Gators!!
Because this entire board is about the "process" and "luck"
3 hours ago every freaking article on the front page was about “luck”. Now we lose Manny and its all to crap?
If we won it last year with CC + Garza we can win it this year + Desmond +Damon + Hellickson + Shields having good luck
Go Gators!!
I agree with Matthan
I wasn’t really sure I would ever say those words.
Well, I mean, we also have other options
It’s all good ether way. It just depends how they wanna go about his Service Time. We could also put S-Rod at 2B & Fuld in the OF more rather than go to Jennings.
PIZZA?!?
Losing Manny isn't a huge deal, bringing up Kotchman means the season is over

Let me get this straight
We don’t want to waste service time in a losing season. So we don’t want DJ up here now.
But in March, we didn’t want to waste service time…why? Because we were completing?
So basically, we should never call up somebody who might be good? Is that the process??
We can wait until June

Follow me: @SandyKazmir, read me @ Dock of the Rays
but why?
DJ will never be highly paid in arb because of his skill set so why do we care about super 2 status?

Contract
Is any of his contract pay guaranteed? or is the contract null and void if breached due to drug use? and no money is due him?
Desmond Jennings ERA
can begin this weekend. Lead him off, park him in LF and lets get some excitement going.
Move on!
This. Bring him up. let's see what he can do
get him some experience for next year.
In about a month or so, I'm totally on board with this. I just don't want DJ being eligible for Super Two status.

cause they’re gonna have to bring someone up for the 25 man roster for todays game, any news of who it is?
can't imagine that 3 hours or so is enough time
played a man shorrt yesterday, they’ll have to again today.
PR disaster for the Rays
they look like they don’t know what they’re doing

I wonder if
that last preseason game that Manny missed (the game at the Trop) was a meeting with league officials. I wonder if they informed him of something fishy in his results and today they got verification samples. I wonder if the team has been playing uptight because of pending doom.
It will be interesting to know if the news today isn’t really news to the Rays at all or if they were in fact blindsided.
Good or Bad idea?
Buy a Manny jeresey in the team store for like $20 bucks?

No way on paper that we are equivalent to last season. Less defense, less offense. Best case equivalent bullpen and starting pitching. This team is not going to the playoffs, and will at best be a .500ish team.

I always thought they were rash to get rid of Blalock last year
He’s young, and I was thinking here is a guy who hit .234 in a down year, which was basically what we were getting out of Pena. Was Blalock in camp with anyone?

doubt he can make it to the game before it starts
not sure where he is, but 3 hours to get to the park, then play in the starting line up?
maybe he pulls a Dan Johnson, and wins the game with a dramatic HR late?
So, was Manny facing a 100 game suspension
for his second offense?
Remember when he said that Damon would play 100 and He (manny) would play 62?
It all makes sense now

Fuld in LF, Damon at DH, and Johnson at 1B is so far and away the best option until Desmond can come up.

Wont be so bad when Longo comes back
Then Zobrist or Rodriguez can play LF. Might as well keep Damon at DH now whether Jennings is up or not.

Dear everyone in this thread,
If you’ve been a Rays fan for more that 3 years this is far from the worst thing ever. Rays might not have the firepower to make the playoffs, but it will be fun to see what they do, and how they reload for their next run.
And seriously? Who fucking cares about Kotchman. He’s on the team until they call up someone better, so make the best of it. Or kill yourself, whatever.

So much for finally having a DH that can hit worth a lick
Kotchman is a temporary fix. Rays are now back to some sort of DH platoon(Dan Johnson) but without a decent RH’ed half. Frankly, I don’t see anyone available that can provide some run production from the right side.It may also be time to look for a long term solution to first base. Maybe Yonder Alonso for a good pitching prospect?

Galvanize: [gal-vuh-nahyz]
–verb (used with object), -nized, -niz·ing.
1. to stimulate by or as if by a galvanic current.
2. Medicine/Medical . to stimulate or treat (muscles or nerves) with induced direct current ( distinguished from faradize).
3. to startle into sudden activity; stimulate.
Joe probably means definition #3, but I’m thinking #1 might be more effective
Literally the first time any of us has seen the word "galvanize"

I'm sorry
when, not if
When Manny quits on the team is the question, not if.

He did the right thing
Walk away with some dignity rather then embarrasing the Rays organization and the entire sport becoming the first person to be suspended 100 games for two drug offenses.
