Vlad Jr

[bloodbrother]

Vlad's bat is already MLB ready which is crazy since he just turned 19 about 2 months ago.

What is up with Ward's sudden ability to hit with power?

Moving him off the demanding position that is catcher maybe playing a role? Dude's legs gotta be fresher not having to be in the squat all game long every day

So is Baldo's....  at least according to Jerry.

a huge chunk of his SLG% is total bases from the sheer number of hits and walks.  He's got 5 doubles and 4 hrs which is still decent.  The yard he's in suppresses power too.  He's always had some raw power.  

I'm wondering if David Freese is a good comp.

Vlad Jr is a very proud Canadian. 

[Chuck]

2 HR tonight.

Vlad is going to be the second best player in baseball for a solid 5 years before becoming the best. 

Some guys, you just see that train coming a mile away at age 18/19. Griffey, Andruw, A-Rod, Trout, Harper...

Dipoto can climb a wall of dicks with no arms for what he did with the team’s international money. 

All I have to add to this contender for all time greatest comment is that it deserved to be seen again on every page of this thread. 

[101halo]

Well, maybe there is still a chance to draft Gary Matthews Jr Jr.

Is it too early to draft Trout's yet to be conceived child?

I once dated a Canadian girl and any time I made fun of Canada she would bring up the war of 1812.  I was like, "I don't know what you keep babbling about."

I hope Gerard Peter Dipoto gets a cavity search from a leper with AIDS, Hep A, Hep B, Hep C, tuberculosis, Ebola, Malaria, Small pox, Herpes, AIDS again, Rabies, Cholera, Tetanus, Gonorrhea, Syphilis, the Bubonic Plague, the common cold, and a particularly severe case of elephantiasis of the hand.

[floplag]

This one mistake is why it shocks me that DiPoto still has a job.  

[Dtwncbad]

Are any of Vlad's other 11 kids worth pursuing?  I mean do your homework first by interviewing all 9 moms, of course, but worth a look?

How about a DNA test for Baldoquin?  Maybe Vladdy actually is his father.

[Dtwncbad]

How about the Angels make a deal NOW with Vladdy and maybe a Jennie Finch so that the Angels have the rookie of the year in 2038?

You said AIDS twice.

[Angel Oracle]

Gotta pin those offspring hopes on Torii Jr. and his recent torrid pace.

No use hoping for a Baldoquin emergence, impossibilities have a way of not happening.

If you could be just a tiny bit more specific, we would know if you mean Derek Jeter or Jim Carey.

could of, would of, and should ofs:

We could have had arguably of the best players in baseball in 2019:  Trout, Ohtani, and Vlad Jr (thanks Jerry)

Holy crap, I just looked it up, and that's actually his full name.
