More Simba than Mufasa, Manny Machado is defying his already sky-high expectations both on the plate and in the field, and it doesn't appear he'll be falling off any cliffs into a stampede of wildebeests anytime soon.
Often, you hear the phrase "what am I doing with my life?" as a sarcastic pushback, usually when joking about your own malaise. In reference to Manny Machado, I myself have used it in abundance.
As a run-of-the-mill 24 year-old, it's easy to look at Machado (who is three months shy of the same birthday) and look in the mirror and question your contributions to society.
