Manny Ramirez

Very few people in professional sports are as polarizing as Manny Ramirez. There's no question that he and Alex Rodriguez are the premier right-handed hitters of our generation, but there's also no question that the man is a freaking basket case. He punched his own ticket out of Boston, only to completely and utterly tear up National League pitching with the Dodgers while playing in a park known for being a nightmare for power hitters.

He's a free agent now, and agent Scott Boras is trying to get as much money for him as possible. But there's a catch. Manny will turn 37 this May, and there's no way on Earth any sane GM will give him the four-year deal Boras is reportedly demanding. The Dodgers reportedly offered him a lucrative two-year deal, which makes sense, but nothing further has come of it in the past few months.

So what teams would be good fits for Manny? Let's take a look at a few.

TAMPA BAY: From a structural standpoint, this makes sense. The defending AL champs have a bunch of young talent, such as Evan Longoria and B.J. Upton, but a lack of true veteran leadership ultimately cost them in the World Series. Cliff Floyd may be a great clubhouse guy, but he won't lead by example on the field anymore. Manny will, and who WOULDN'T be interested in seeing how guys like Longoria and Upton learn from Ramirez at the plate?

CLEVELAND: Manny started his career here, and they could use him again. Last year, they won 81 games despite injuries to Victor Martinez and Travis Hafner, both of whom are part of the heart of their lineup. If they add Manny, and put him in the middle of the lineup next to those two and Grady Sizemore, you've got a really explosive offensive team. Add that in with a fine pitching staff, and you've got a bonafide contender.

FLORIDA: Their infield became the first in major league history to have four 20-homer guys (Mike Jacobs, Dan Uggla, Hanley Ramirez, Jorge Cantu). Their outfield, though, is remarkably punchless. Cameron Maybin is a phenomenal prospect, and learning from Manny at the plate could be a great experience.

CINCINNATI: Simply put, they're the Reds. They dealt both Ken Griffey, Jr., and Adam Dunn this past year, leaving them with zip in the way of offensive firepower. This, of course, is something Manny can provide in spades.

LOS ANGELES DODGERS: There's a reason they put an offer out there for him. Manny was a perfect fit in LA, and singlehandedly won them the division with his incredible second half. Put him back on the team, and they're easily the best team in baseball's worst division, the NL West.
