Why don't the Red Sox pick up Manny's option for next year now?

This seems like a no brainer to me, they have 2 options left and they can go through this trumped up media zoo next season... they already did an MRI on both knees, they know he's healthy. So what if his agent is Scott Boras, most good player's agnet is Scott Boras.

Who is gonna protect Ortiz? Who is gonna be better? Its left field in Fenway park. There isn't a better left fielder.
bill.... what about when he robbed Cairo in NY or this year when he caught that fly and had time to give a high five and double up? He plays the Wall and that's fine, but he isn't as bad as people say he is in the outfield.... he isn't a gold glover, but you can hide someone in left in MLB. His rep as a bad fielder helps him get assists too, cause people get cocky and try to run on him, right Kenny Lofton?
jets.... you watch too much espn... did you hear the whole quotes or just the spin... sounds like you just heard the spin... the Sox and Manny have been having this fight for years...

the Sox front office's subbornness is making this into an annoying media fiasco. manny is a baseball player not an agent, not a business man.
Not worth the money?!?! Have you ever seen him play in the post season? He is better than Lou Gehrig!!!

They wont pick up his option b/cc he is not worth even close to the 20 mil the option is for. He is a great left fielder, has great numbers, and seems to be able to get away with the most crap in baseball in boston. He will not get traded this season b/c no one will want to pay him what he will be earning. I dont know how you can say he is a good left fielder. In the last 10 years, the three worst plays i have ever seen came from him. When he dove to cut off the ball 10 feet from the center fielder. then continued to make it a 3 man cut-off(classic) or how about a few weeks ago when he is rolling around on the ground and the ball is underneath him?? He has made a few good plays, but hey, even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while.

Manny deserves to be a DH

He is a club house cancer, the Sox have the money to buy a hitter who will play hard and perform at a professional level. Why keep a guy that is unhappy with you. The only reason they would pick up the option is to trade for him.
