Exactly. This reunites Jimmy and Manny as team mates. Big deal. I think Jimmy is a free agent at the end of the year so it's purely a move to have a big bat on the bench during the playoffs. Plus he's a
smart hitter and has faced most of the ace American league pitchers of late...not a bad guy to call on in a WS pinch.
