Manny Facing Possible Suspension
Providence Journal sports writer and ESPN contributor Sean McAdam reports in today's Projo that Manny faces disciplinary action, including possible suspension, if he opts out of the line-up again today.
The kicker in all of this in the Red Sox eyes is that Manny has not sought treatment for his knee condition.
From McAdam: "Skepticism obviously exists within the organization about the severity of Ramirez’s injury. Ramirez did not seek treatment for the knee on Thursday, an off-day, a signal to Francona that Ramirez would be available for last night’s series opener. Ramirez said Wednesday in Seattle that the knee had been bothering him for the last week, but he has not sought treatment from the training staff."
