    If so, where do you think he winds up?

    I want to say the Yankees, but don't see it. The Mets? He showed what he could do as a full time LFer against NL pitching in a nice sample size.

    We can only wish to see Manny on the Yankees. I can see him staying in LA though because of the way he performed this season.

    LA has no choice but to sign him. Also, if he didn't like the way media/fans treated him in Boston, he won't want to go to NY.

    Angels will be in the mix as well if they can't re-sign Texeria. It's hard to gauge what's important to Manny at this point. Is he playing for money? Is he playing where he'll be happy? Is he playing to win titles? Is he playing to take revenge on the Redsox?

    The sentiment in LA amongst Dodger fans is he won't be back because McCourt won't max Manny out and Manny might not want to stick around if the Dodgers have a major overhaul of their current roster.

    These players are all potential free agents this summer. Furcal, Kent, Nomar, Penny (team buyout), Lowe, Maddux, Blake and Manny.

    The Angels have to be the frontrunners. They're basically LA (Manny seems to like LA), and they can DH him. Perfect fit.

    There going to try and resign Furcal and Blake.

    Nomar, Kent, Maddux, Penny and Lowe are out IMO.

    The Dodgers have the money to resign Manny but it really depends on Ballpark Frank and Ned. If they don't keep Manny then they're going to go after C.C.
