Manny

The Manny situation is finally over. It was a pretty stupid few weeks where both sides tried to get their way. Anyways, back to the fantasy world. No matter where Manny goes he is going to hit and he's going to hit as a premium fantasy hitter. So, his signing doesn't change his fantasy status.

People who bat around him will benefit greatly from his amazing ability to hit. Players like Kemp, Ethier, Furcal, Martin, and maybe even Hudson will find some extra runs and a few better pitches to hit. The value of those guys increase. Make sure to keep those guys on your fantasy radars especially since drafts are quickly approaching.

Manny could go down as one of the three best hitters of all time when it is all said and done.

Imagine if the Jays actually could have had enough money to try and grab him. Alas, the pipe dream.

That would be sick if the Jays were able to add Manny into the lineup. A friendly home to hit in and the pressure he could take off of Wells and Rios to produce. Oh, the dreams.

If Manny finds a way to stay healthy for the next 4-5 years, you never know how many bombs he could have.
