Vlad Jr debuts Tuesday

Didn't realize he weighed 250. WTF is he eating.

250 and he isn't even a power hitter?

He slugged .531 throughout the minors despite being 3+ years younger than the rest of his competition (and 6-7 years younger than the average AAA player). And just last year, he clubbed 20 home runs and hit .381/.437/.636. His power is also graded by scouts as an 80. Sounds like a power hitter to me.

I didn't dive into the numbers.

2 HR's yesterday and he hit them a long way

Hitting them that far in the night air of San Francisco was impressive.

The Giants probably haven’t hit a 430+ foot homer in their own ballpark since Barry.

It’s not like Vlad Sr. was a hefty guy either. He was actually kind of skinny.
