Defending Manny and his Achy Knee

Manny's taking a lot of heat for having a MRI on his bum knee. Is he healthy or just 'being Manny?' Not that it has anything to do with the Yankees, but here's an interesting anti-new york defense of Manny Ramirez. "Manny has played in more games this year than any Red Sox position player. Only David Ortiz has played in more games. You may say "with a $20 million contract he should play all those games." If that is your attitude - consider that Manny has played the same number of games as Alex Rodriguez and two more than Captain Intangibles Derek Jeter."
