"Albert Pujols is encouraging the St. Louis Cardinals to sign Manny Ramirez. The Cardinals slugger, who won his second NL MVP award in November, acknowledged the team might not have enough money to land the free-agent outfielder. "I speak with Manny every three days and he tells me, 'Man, no one wants to sign me,' Pujols said Thursday during a news conference. "I'm not an agent or general manager, but I can't understand how Manny has not signed." Pujols passed along Ramirez's telephone number to St. Louis manager Tony La Russa (ESPN)."
No one wants to sign you Manny because you want too long of a contract, too much money, and you have a track record a mile long of being a douche bag at some point in every season. Got to love when players that have no business opening their mouths, and just do it anyways. Pujols, you are not the GM of this team. If it is going to happen then it will be a business decision, not because you want to help out your poor friend.
But....For just a second lets actually think about what it would be like if Manny was on this team. You would be adding one of the best hitters of all time to a lineup that already has Ryan Ludwick, Albert Pujols. It would be crazy! Just between those 3 guys your lineup would produce no less than 120 HRs next year. Actually now you have sold me on it Pujols, fuck it Cardinals go for it! Plus it would make me a lot happier if Manny was to stay in the NL.
