Manny Ramirez - DH - Tampa Bay Rays

Athletics' general manager Billy Beane confirmed Friday that he would like to sign a "middle-of-the-lineup" designated hitter.
This is the most specific Beane has been on the matter, but he would not address the team's interest in either Manny Ramirez or Magglio Ordonez. We suspect they'll eventually add one of them, though Ramirez wouldn't be able to help during the first two months of the season as he serves his 50-game PED suspension.
