What about Manny? He just broke 500 and has 3 or 4 good years left in him.

first off Manny DID NOT break 500 yet. He has only 496 home runs and last I checked Cooperstown does not round up, especially for egotistical douche bags. Lou Gehrig (493) on the other hand should be an honorary inductee into the 500 club. Second, this is a contract year for manny so hes goign to put up good numbers but as soon as the sox exercise the options of 009 and 10 he will go right back to being manny of old - par, high .200’s with 25 home runs, wont keep it up long enough.

Manny as a high .200s with 25 HRs? Ory? He hasn’t hit under .290 in 12 seasons, and has only been under .300 twice in that same span. And, the 20 HRs he hit last year in an injury shortened season was his lowest total since…1994. In fact, he’s been under 30 HRs only 3 times in his career (excluding his 1993 debut season, where he played in all of 22 games).

I usually don’t go out of my way to defend Manny (who can be infuriating to watch), but your comment reeked.

That being said, if there’s any reason he’s not on the list, it’s because he’s 36 — not exactly young.

Manny Ramirez has averaged about 33 HRs per season and has hit under 30 in only 3 seasons, 1994, 1997 and 2007. He’s 35 now, has hit 496 as of 4/29/08. He’ll certainly play at least 3 seasons beyond this one. If he hits 30 this season he’ll be at 520. As for his average? High 200’s? His career average is .313 and his career OPS is 1.002. He’s a first ballot HOF regardless of whether or not he is a “douche.” Barring serious injury, Manny Ramirez will certainly hit 600HR and has an outside shot at 700+ should he continue to average 33HR/season and play to the age of 42, he’ll be at 720 HR.

This is the worst list ever. There were some real stretches like Adam Dunn and some obvious ones any real baseball fan would have gotten like ManRam.

carlos penaand jim thome are too old evan longoria hasn’t done anything so far…upton has…and have you seen the kid if he’s on steroids *maybe this should be* theyre cetainly not bulking him up. the reason hes up there is because he has the highest cieling like griffy and arod in their day…cabrera, howard, and wright should have probably been on there…but since im no sportswrtier and this guy is maybe i should get a job as one then i can put whatever lists made up however i want them up and let everyone else complain

wow since when has griffey been a cocky douche? hes been one of the most down to earth players and hardly ever turns down interviews and has always been a jokester theres no doubt in my mind if he didnt get injured he would be at 800+ home runs for his career….

to the guy who asked why Carlos Pena is not on the list… he’s 30 years old (in Dominican years), has only 143 career home runs to date, and has only one season in which he hit more than 27. dolt!
