It's a shame too...I love Citi Field and I enjoy that it's a pitchers park, but it just looks bad when the team really isn't built for the park yet. This is why I would love if they brought in Carl Crawford. That's the kind of hitter that they would need for Citi.
His numbers compared to Manny's was about a few HRs and RBIs less the last few years but he was a bit more inconsistent for long stretches compared to Manny.

His biggest value was while Manny goofed off too much and got upset over things that shouldn't be a big issue, Bay was more reliable and didn't cause any off field issues/distractions.
