Vlad Jr. Is really good at batting practice. Still hitting only .249 with only 8HRs after being declared a HOF by ESPN before his 1st game.


At least 10 rookies having better seasons...at least

I think the proper term is “5 o’clock hitter.”

Remember when Braves fans were declaring Jeff Francoeur a Hall of Famer?

Didn't you also say Mussina was an average pitcher, despite him being a better pitcher than Glavine?

Why do I get the feeling that your homer ass thinks Acuna will have a better career than Trout?

I don’t think Acuna will better than Trout. I do think Acuna will be one of the top 3-5 players in the game within 2 years and I will sure as hell take him over Vlad Jr. I would Austin Riley too....and Cristian Pache and Ozzie Albee’s

I never declared him a HOF. He couldn’t hit anything other than a Fastball and had no patience. A lot of our fans did declare him a HOF though and he did have a great 1st year

I never said it about Frenchy. Never could lay off the high heat or slider in the dirt. I did say it about McCann, who has had a really solid career, but not a HOF career like I was thinking

I’ve gotta see Riley make some adjustments before I go that far. He’s looking a bit like Francouer lately. I’ll need to see what Pache does in the Majors before I say one way or the other.

I’d definitely rather have Acuna and Ozzie though

So Far Riley is better than Vlad jr.

Riley: 49G 16HR 41RBI .257avg 0.9WAR

Vlad Jr:61G 8HR 25RBI .249avg 0.7WAR

Once Riley lays off the slider his average should improve. Don’t think he will ever hit .300 but he should consistently hit .270-.280 with 30HRs

Riley is also a couple years older than Vlad, and Vlad already has better plate discipline. I’m not saying Riley can’t be better, but I need to see the adjustments before I assume he can make them

Give me Vlad over Riley and Albies all day long.

Ozzie was more productive as a 20 year old and bothered to learn English

I will say, the English thing rattled the fuck outta me.

Your dads played pro ball throughout your whole life. Didn’t pick up a thing??

Vlad Sr can’t speak it either.... In fairness half of his career was in Montreal where they speak French
