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.
