Still No Manny
Still no sign of Manny Ramirez Tuesday and he seems to be in no hurry to resume working out with the club. Nobody around the park expects to see him until the next homestand at the soonest. And when he returns, the prevailing opinion is that he won’t discuss any details surrounding his 50-game suspension for violating the MLB drug policy. He’s liable to take the mark McGwire approach, insisting that whatever happened is in the past and he wants to move on. That was his strategy whenever asked about his sour departure from Boston, so he has a track record when it comes to deflecting controversial subjects. — Ken Gurnick
