the only left fielder who has ever played the monster as well as manny is yaz. so yeah, in fenway the sox did go down a bit defensively in that deal. bay won't turn doubles into singles like manny did.

Manny is the worst defensive OF in baseball. Bay is average and more. The end. |

Man, I knew the Red Sox got raped in the Manny deal, but I totally forgot to factor in defense. WOW! They blew that trade even more than I thought! |

Was. He no longer plays there. Bay is now the best defensive left fielder at Fenway. Edited by sportslover, Sat Aug 2, 2008 1:17 am.

Manny is a good left fielder in Fenway Park, he is absolutely horrible everywhere else. It takes experience to learn how to play the wall well and Manny had that. Plenty of good left fielders come to Fenway and look like absolute fools because of it. |

If Manny can play LF at Fenway well, I'm sure my grandmother can. |

Since Manny was good at defense at Fenway, due to experience, once Bay gets used to Fenway, he will be even better. |

ok. so maybe after 5 years of practice bay will play the monster as well as manny. MAYBE. the wall and manny just went together. he doesn't have range and he didn't need it in fenway. he just had a great arm and he played the balls off the wall perfectly. and anyone who thinks PITTSBURGH got the best part of this deal is out of his or her mind. before last year bay was a .285-100-35-100 guy on a horrible team and now after one down year he's back to that level and he finally gets to play with some talented players. and what does pitt get? umm... an overrated 3rd base prospect who has proven a great ability to get injured... a dime a dozen class A pitching prospect... a reliever who was never going to do jack shit in boston... and brandon moss, who will probably be the best player they get in the deal and his potential is to be an average MLB hitter. WHAT A HAUL!!!! |
