How is Manny overrated? His numbers were down for being injured or out half of last year, but the guy is a perrenial lock to hit .325 40 homers and drive in 130 runs. If he's healthy all year, with the lineup and park he's in, he has a very good chance to put up Todd Helton numbers like .350 50 150. Vlad won't approach those numbers. But again, I would rather have Vlad than Manny. I'm just saying that Manny will put up better numbers minus the steals.
