White Sox set to embrace Manny

CLEVELAND — Manny Ramirez will have to follow two nonnegotiable rules if he’s going to play for White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen.No. 1: Stretch with teammates.No. 2: Be on the field for the national anthem.That’s it. Well, he might have to trim the dreadlocks. But that’s about it.“I want him to feel comfortable here,’’ Guillen said yesterday. “I want him to like it here. I want him to have fun and I want him to be Manny.’’Back to frighten pitchers who haven’t seen him regularly in a few years, Ramirez will try to get Chicago back to the AL playoffs.As expected, the White Sox claimed the unpredictable but productive 12-time All-Star slugger on waivers — giving up nothing in return — from the Los Angeles Dodgers, counting on his powerful bat, full of so many October swings and homers, to help them make a postseason push.Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti said the White Sox rejected the Dodgers’ offer of $1.5 million for a prospect. Chicago turned down subsequent offers of $1 million and $500,000 for a lower-level prospect. Colletti said Ramirez didn’t ask to be compensated for waiving the no-trade clause in his two-year, $45 million contract.Ramirez went to the White Sox as a straight waiver claim, making them responsible for the entire $3.8 million remaining on his deal.“Hopefully, he can come in here and give us some help,’’ White Sox first baseman Paul Konerko said. “We need to make up some ground. There’s no doubt Manny can hit. He makes any team better.’’Chicago began a key 10-game trip to Cleveland, Boston, and Detroit last night — beating the Indians, 10-6, in 11 innings. Ramirez is not expected to join the White Sox, his fourth major league team, until today. They are four games behind first-place Minnesota in the AL Central.
