Comparing Manny Ramirez and Juan Soto’s 4 last seasons before entering free agency 12 commentsAmazing his OPS was a 100 points lower, but OPS+ was above Manny. Offense in those years was insaneMaybe many young Red Sox fans don’t remember how good Manny was on this team but he was ***extremely*** good.Manny was one of the best hitters this team has ever had, he literally could do everything as a hitter.Manny was like Papi but a lot better as a hitter. Which means if we sign Soto it would be like getting another Manny Ramirez but this time a lefty Manny.Manny being manny!!!wE dOnT nEeD sOTo, We NeEd PiTcHiNgAnd the Sox aren’t paying himConsiderably better OPS. Mildly worse OPS+.The late 1990s and early 2000s were just a different time. By which I mean everyone was juiced and nobody cared.Manny is one of my top 5 favorite athletes… Also MVP baseball 2005 is the GOAT of all baseball gamesJohn Henry seeing these numbers and offering Soto 160m max thinking it’s a fair offerSoto is the best hitter baseball right now. Manny was “merely” a great hitter.Oh, and Soto is younger and at least plays passable defense.Can we talk about a .619 Slugging for a minute? Holy shit.Front office will probably offer the same contract they offered Manny, cheap bastards. Give Soto $1 billion!Nobody hit a curve ball as well as Manny Ramirez.Leave a ReplyYou must be logged in to post a comment.
