One thing, though. Can somebody please tell me why this team didn’t sign Manny Ramirez (or one of the many other quality DH’s available)?
Because there was no need.
And AA clearly wants defensive flexibility with the DH spot ( ie... Rivera now, E5 later, can both handle their positions adequately if need be )
