Finally some real hot stove Sox news, not this Johan Santana watch. From a Peter Gammons chat on the Boston Globe Thursday, he had an interesting response to a question about Papi: My guess is that he'll be fine. And in a lot less pain than he was at times last year. I thought for nearly three months, he was very clear that self confident presence was missing and it was injury related. In the 40 HR range... what's going to be interesting is going to be how Manny hits with him. Manny rented a house in the Phoenix area and has become a maniacal workout warrior in Tempe Arizona at the Athletes' Performance Institute (API). From what I've heard from people at API, Manny is getting himself into phenomenal shape. And having watched those workouts, I can tell you, they are extremely difficult.
That's awesome.
The real American Manny, like Rocky in Rocky IV, has isolated himself in extreme conditions to prepare himself for the repeat. This might be the year he rescues the MVP award from Slappy.
