I think what amazes me the most about Manny is his ability to get on base when the count is not in his favor. A pitcher can get 2 strikes on the man and he'll find a way to get on base. He has an amazing ability to adjust at the plate that I really haven't seen before.
I say he's top 5 already. Stats say he needs a few more years.. so eventually we'll both be right
I've always enjoyed Manny being Manny (for the most part) He has fun out there.. he enjoys what he does. This year is almost a little slice of heaven with his new outlook and desire. Who cares if it's a contract year, the man has always been fun to watch and hopefully we'll get to see him end his career in Boston.
