I don't see Manny leaving Boston. Still Burrell is only 31 and gives you around 30 and 100 each year. For being the #1 overall pick he hasn't turned out to be that MVP type of player, but you can't find those type of numbers from many players. Guy is a walk machine too. I wanted Burrell gone, but since the 2nd half of last year he has played great and I wouldn't mind if they resigned him.
Break down his numbers the last 162 games a full season he is hitting .287 43 HR and 117 RBI.
Technically they could be in third place in the AL East by the end of this weekend. Realistically (they're up early tonight) that won't happen, but with Tampa not slowing down, the Yankees still plugging away, the Orioles (of all effing teams) still winning ballgames, and the Jays now playing half decent baseball, it's looking like a pre-2004 season where heart attacks will be a-plenty at Mass General come September.
