This has GOT to be at the request of Manny.

What the ...................

[jeterjuice]

Loretta, Graffanino, Pedroia, Cora....Wilson? What, they cornering the market on second basemen? Or maybe they don't want to be accused of being predudiced against second basemen whose name doesn't end in a vowel....

I agree. Manny is too uptight and should become more of a free spirit.

(AP) Enrique Wilson Goes to Red Sox

Enrique Wilson, tubby utility man, is headed to the Red Sox. "We obviously signed him for insurance" said Larry Lucchino, "in case Manny decides to leave again, we will need his bat". Wilson, a life long Red Sox fan, coincidentally is headed the opposite direction of his high school friend, Johnny Damon. The pair, shown below, also attended the same college.

That must be a doctored photo as Damon didn't go to college.

Which is which?

Work with me, people

They'd better hope to play the Muts in June or so, since that's the only guy Enrique could hit. Heck, he'd also better hope they bring back Knobby, so then he could score from 1B. (remember the "point the finger" thing in '98)?

[yanksconstantino24]

It seems like the Red Sox are going after every ex-Yankee they can since Damon came here. First Flaherty, then Snow (altough he wasn't a Yankee for long), now Wilson. I wouldn't be suprised if they went after Tino also. (I don't think he'd ever sign there though).

[MiamiKat]

If for some crazy reason Wilson makes the team (hey, didn't he hit over .400 in ST a couple of years ago?), imagine a game with Enrique at 2nd, Gonzalez as SS and Lowell at 3B.

Sox fans had better hope those are the games where Manny and Ortiz step it up bigtime.

(No, I'm not expecting a significant rebound from Lowell. Not at all.)

King Theo strikes again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[marietta_soxfan]

How long now until Manny declares he wants to finish his career in Boston and he never wanted to leave in the first place?

[JeffWeaverFan]

This probably doesn't mean a thing. He's not actually going to make the team. Here's to hoping he hits .400 in ST like he did for us a couple years ago.

[marietta_soxfan]

Maybe he will be Manny's Nelson De La Rosa

Yeha, but then they'll probably get rid of Boomer.

Geez, I wonder how come they never signed Miguel Cairo or Shane Spencer.

didnt flaherty sign before damon?

[Babe Rules]

Let's hope Enrique makes a hell of a spring tranning and makes the team for the season.

Mark Bellhorn and Alan Embree from 2005 ring a bell?

Snow was signed because he fit a need and he's hardly a Yankee. Flaherty is on a non-guaranteed flyer. I highly doubt he makes the team.

Wilson....well I'm still trying to figure that one out. I hope Enrique is looking for places in Pawtucket.

[BeantownYankee]

Having signed A-gonz. Lucky Larry started planning for the Red Sox meeting with the Mets in the World Series and planned to add Enrique to the roster for the purpose of hitting against peety in the WS.

[SouthernBoSox]

Naw, Damon signed then Flaherty. Only reason I remember that is because the BDD headline was "The Sox strike Back!" priceless.
