Just to add fuel to the many debates about the trade:
Stats for Bay this year
.282 avg
22 hr
64 rbi
72 runs
Stat’s for Manny
.299 avg
20 hr
68 rbi
66 runs
These make the deal look a little more even. And if you had to make a choice on who has the most potential in a Sox uniform? Not manny the way he’s played this week.

So Jason Bay was dealt, and what a deal! As part of the Manny Ramirez to L.A. deal, Bay goes from the fire-sale Pirates to the playoff contending Red Sox. I’m sure he’s not complaining.
The former rookie of the year will now be part of a formative lineup and be part of this year’s playoffs. Since being the ROY, he’s struggles in Pittsburgh but now has the opportunity to have his career flourish. A good trade for Bay, and a good trade for Boston. I’m sure many of the Boston fans may be weary of the trade, but once they get to know Jason Bay and his potential, they’ll be happy. Fram a very non-team player to the pinnacle of a team player.
The 2008 playoff picture just got very interesting.
