chitownsportsfan Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 (edited) christ the hype on this kid is so over the top. he's 20 give him a few years. he's at a whopping 98 wRC+ and his defense is eloy level bad at 3B. that said, helluva show there it's just the ESPN hype makes me react against him at times similar to Zion. So over the top. Edited July 9, 2019 by chitownsportsfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I'd rather have the media hype Vlad Jr. over the other son of a former major leaguer who is 20 and is miles better as a player for my sanity.. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he can to some degree, but it might be easier for him to better communicate his thoughts speaking Spanish. Ichiro used to do it all the time.

If he lived in the us most of his life would he have been an International prospect? Maybe vlad left the family on the island. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuliusO1274 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Eloy has twice the amount of homers as Vlad Jr in the same amount of games, why isn't he in the Derby? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moan4Yoan Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 So basically the ridiculously juiced ball has now replaced steroids. Verlander called out the juiced ball, which may or may not be ironic depending on what you believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure this is a great argument after the show he put on. But yeah, it would have been cool to see Eloy in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BackDoorBreach Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I don't agree with Vlad Jr at all. He has 8 HRs in as many PA's as Eloy. Vogelbach should have been in because he deserved it and for the memes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
