Oh, I guess I should mention that Nick Cafardo did the typical Boston media “bash Manny while praising a scrappy but crappy player” article for the Globe this morning. A bunch of blind quotes, none even moderately damning, but Cafardo saw a story say Manny doesn’t have heart. Of course, the player with Heart, Kevin Millar, is damn near replacement level at 1B and wants to play in every game so that he can try and get a job next year. Manny’s one of the top 3 hitting OF in baseball and has played in 109 games this season. That would be 5 more than Kevin Millar’s heart. 1 less than crazy Johnny Damon. 2 more than The Professional. 7 less than David Ortiz, who doesn’t have to play the field.
