Nice write-up about how Manny has been helping the players, working with the players...

“He was great. I learned a lot of stuff from him,” Baez said of Ramirez, who in June joined Baez and other top prospects at Iowa as a player/coach in a much-criticized signing by team president Theo Epstein.

“He helped my approach to right-center, [following] his routine every day, going to the cage, the way he works,” Baez said. “He’s always got a bat in his hand doing something, either swinging the bat or just hitting in the cage. He talked to a lot of the guys. A lot of people learned from him.”

I have a mea culpa here. Time to eat some crow. I think I made comments condemning this move. And if not, that's how I felt. But it looks like this has paid off already. Kudos to Thoyer for giving Manny a chance.
