A's sign Manny Ramirez.
Savvy move by Beane or is Manny destined to fail?

I don't see this move going well. The only upside would be if they could get something for him at the trading deadline.

I, for one, would love to see it work, just because it might change how players who have been out for a year are viewed. Too often a guy ends up being out of work for a year and then that's it. I'd love to see a counter-example.

I think this one is destined to fail. Not to say for sure that Ramirez doesn't have any gas left in the tank, but where has he not quicly worn out his welcome in recent years?
