Is Manny Parra the most underrated pitcher in baseball?

Question

In his last 13 starts he is 9-0. He got off to a bad start but since has been one of the best pitchers in baseball, and you never hear anyone talk about him. If you dont believe me, check his stats:

Answer 1

He's a great pitcher that's for sure.  I think he is a little underrated just because people don't really know who he is yet.  But, in the coming years, I think that he'll make a name for himself.  As a Brewers fan, I'm excited to see this young guy really develop right before our eyes.  Over the last couple of months, he's gone from being a "maybe he'll win, maybe he'll lose" type of guy to "the odds are that we'll win this game" type of guy whenever he's on the mound.

Answer 2

no he is not even that good

Answer 3

Yea everyone is bascially nearly underated. If you don't play on contending teams or the Yankees or the Red Sox. Basically no one knows you except the fans of that player. I think that they should show people from other teams more and everyone should know more about other players rather then Yankee and Red Sox all the time.

Answer 4

I agree.  I'm a huge Brewer fan, and Manny's my favorite pitcher (although CC is a close second).  He's maybe not the most underrated, but you definitely don't hear about him very often, and he totally deserves to be talked about.  He's got great stuff, and Jason Kendall, the Brewer's catcher, says that Manny has some of the best stuff he's ever caught.

Answer 5

no. Kyle Loshe is 12-2. When do you hear about him.

Answer 6

Yeah he is veryy underrated and may be as good as Ben Sheets

Answer 7

I don't know if he's the most underrated, but he definitely doesn't get the credit that he deserves. In a pitching rotation with the

B-52 Bomber and the F-15 Fighter you're bound to get overlooked. Just keep doing what you're doing Manny, cause us Brewers fans are loving it. I don't care if you don't get the recognition, as long as you keep winning and take us right into the playoffs.

Answer 8

No.

Answer 9

i agree hes a pretty good pitcher and you really dont hear anything about him on ESPN, FOX sports or even on here

Answer 10

Not underrated, just hasnt made a name for himself yet, he`ll get there.

Answer 11

He might be, but I would say Sean Gallagher of the A's is. He has some really nice stuff and gets tons of Ks. He was recently acquired in the Rich Harden deal with the Cubs.

Answer 12

well lets see if he can keep pitching this well. His WHIP is 1.47, which means some of his success is luck. i wouldn't say he's underrated i would just say he is unknown as of right now.

Answer 13

i don't know about most underrated, but he has been exceptional and no one talks about him, he is constantly in the shadow of ben sheets and cc sabathia
