I agree, it's time. His defense is stellar too. Time for an upgrade. Thanks goodness I finished the collection a few days ago.

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!

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.

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.

With comments like this, let me guess, Dodger fan?

And you would be wrong!!! The world champions are my team. But I’m also a baseball fan and I’ve watched all the top players careers from start to present. Manny has done too much goonish/bafoonish stuff in his career for me to just dismiss it as a bad day. When the team that traded for you doesn’t even offer you a contract or at least attempt to extend you speaks volumes. But as I mentioned earlier he’s not the only guy on that team with questionable character issues. I would argue that Profar is the most questionable guy on that team even more so than Manny. I guess only time will tell.

Fair enough in regards to Manny's past. Can't argue the fact that there has been a couple of bafoonish acts in his career. During his time as a Padre though, none of that has come to light. He's been an absolute professional. I'm not sure I can agree with the Padres being a team full of guys with questionable character issues. I'm not sure what took place with Profar and the Rangers so there may have been something there. To call Cronenworth and Musgrove questionable character guys though, nothing could be further from the truth. I would say that those are two of the best character guys on the team. I would guarantee that anyone who follows the Padres on a daily basis would 100% agree with this.
