Manny Machado, stiiiill raking
-
No reason he isn't a 90 Friday
-
knowing SDS they will downgrade him just to mess with us
-
I agree, it's time. His defense is stellar too. Time for an upgrade. Thanks goodness I finished the collection a few days ago.
-
Justin Verlander too. 3 year average shouldnt hurt since he missed last 2 seasons. And the last season he played won Cy Young and season before was runner up.
-
I don't think it's a question in when/if he'll be upgraded to 90+.
The question is how many people are going to invest in him hoping he is another Jose Ramirez when the market may be bombarded with sell orders and he caps out at 20-25K.

As a Padre fan it's a pleasure to watch him play baseball everyday. The guy can do it all. His bat has been on fire all season, his defense at 3B is some of the best I've ever seen, and even his base running is fantastic. On top of it all, he comes to play everyday and rarely misses a game.
On a side note, congratulations on finishing the collection. I don't know how you can have it done so quickly. It usually takes me a couple of months at least, but this year I seem further behind than most years. For me, it's been a little more difficult to make stubs in this years game. Nice work!
-
I hope so because, while I know that nobody wants to hear it, I have pulled him 3 times in the last few weeks out of various packs.
-
I've invested in him and verlander

Investing in Diamonds to get bumped to 90+ is risky.
Unless they hit 30-40K it won't be that much of a payout.

I don't need them to go to 90. I just need people to think they are going to 90. I bought them at 15k.
-
With Machado probably going up to 90 who do you think drops? Probably think Scherzer drops to an 89. I think Nolan Arenado is pretty close to dropping to an 89 also instead. His contact should go down. Everyone else should be safe.

Lol, that is key. Then sell them off the morning or night before the attribute update.

Just wait til he pulls his Manny stunts when he gets mad. Things like intentionally kicking first baseman when he is running by or not running out routine grounders when the dog says of summer are weighing him down. Yeah that’s right Manny does these things. I can’t wait to see when it rears it’s ugly head. There is a reason the Dodgers didn’t re-sign him. I could be wrong but once you get that kind of reputation it’s pretty hard to shake.

I think Manny is one of those, "as long as things are going well he goes well" type of guys. If things start going South for the Padres you will see his true self, but as long as they stay good, he should be ok.

He slide on purpose in to Pedroia's ankle as well which eventually was the end of Pedroia's career

Padres don’t seem to mind character issues, Manny’s numerous misteps, Jurikson Profar who was basically asked to leave Texas after multiple run-ins with teammates in the locker room. Joe Musgrove who has been known to headhunt when he gets mad. Jake Cronenworth and his questionable second base takeouts. The list goes on and on.

Hey @DeadPhish1976 good to hear from you. Full disclosure, I spent a little money at the beginning to put into the market. Not a ton but I can't run around screaming NMS....NMS!!!
Do you flip cards at all? I know that stubs are harder to come by this year but I found a avenue in the market and would be happy to share with a fellow Jam Band fan and San Diegan. -

I definitely felt this way about Manny for many years, but truly he seems to have grown up a bit. And no I'm not jaded because I live in SD. I'm a Cards fan for life. But last year when Tatis was acting out because of the Padres collapse it was Manny who yelled at him in the dugout to stop acting so selfish and be a team player. Maybe I'm over optimistic but since he came to SD he really seems to have grown up. If these things didn't pop up last year when the Pads took a massive nose dive, not sure we can expect them.
But I will freely admit I could be wrong. It really sucked the way he played for the Dodgers and O's and all the antics you mentioned.

Same, but this is why SDS will likely hold him now lol
