(Almost) All Things Manny Machado....

Everyone knows who he is now. Paul O'Neil was showering him with praise during the Yankee series. He's right there with the best in the game.

And then you see stuff like this photo-essay on Bryce Harper throwing a tantrum after getting struck out. Harper had a great year last year, but overall he has been a 25 HR guy with below replacement defense.

As far as I am concerned, Manny and Trout are the top dogs, but the media still haven't quite figured that out, but at least Manny is in the conversation now.

Honestly, for me it's Trout and then everyone else. He's highly likely to go over 9 rWAR for the fourth time in five years. You can have an argument about who is the second-best player in baseball, but there is no real argument about who is at the top.

Manny been in ESPN highlights on a regular basis since he arrived in the bigs.

He also been the top vote getter for 3rd baseball in the AL.

Hard to say the public doesn't know who he is.

He had frequently been left out of the class of Trout and Harper and put in a tier just below them. Do people actually watch ESPN anymore outside of NYY and BOS fans? I haven't watched it in years. I know those two fan bases know how good he is.

So it was just the Orioles, Yankees and Boston that voted Manny into the ASG?

I don't know the answer to that question. How did the royals get 2m votes for players who were fighting to stay above replacement level last year?

Maybe from winning the Royal Series, the year before.

IMO, I just think Manny is more regardless around than the league, than you believe. No big deal, just an opinion of mine.

Are there words to describe this feat?
