Kinda hard to say a guy with a $300 Million contact is underrated. Under appreciated maybe? Padres fans sure appreciated the way he played last night.

I think he’s the best 3B of All Time… especially if you go with the theory that today’s athletes are more advanced than ever and face the best pitching ever… Manny gives you 154 games a year, 30+ HR’s, hits .280, incredible defense, insanely great leadership… if Manny was time machined into Mike Schmidt’s era he’d hit 50+ bombs a year and play Shortstop…I grew up in Baltimore, sat in the third base box seats and watched Brooks Robinson. Manny is better on defense than Brooks was…

Most people would scoff at the thought of Manny as the best 3B ever. Thus my point: I think he’s the most underrated player in my lifetime
