Vlad Guerrero Jr. was named the Eastern League Player of the Week on Monday.

 

Analysis:The 19-year-old is on a tear to start his first season at the Double-A level. Through nine games, he's hitting .361/.419/.639 with a pair of homers. He has more walks (five) than strikeouts (four), just as he did at both of his minor-league stops last season. If his hot start continues, he could be up at Triple-A before long, which an outside shot at a promotion to the big leagues at some point later this season.

 

 

Also named as the #4 on the first BA Prospect Hot Sheet of 2018:

 

Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

Blue Jays 3B

Notes:

Team: Double-A New Hampshire (Eastern)

Age: 19

Why He’s Here: .361/.419/.639 (13-for-36), 7 R, 4 2B, 2 HR, 12 RBIs, 5 BB, 4 SO

 

The Scoop: Guerrero looks more like a major league veteran on a rehab assignment than he does a 19-year-old in Double-A. A teenager among men, Guerrero hits the ball like a man among boys, showing 70 raw power in batting practice by hitting the ball out of the stadium to his pull side and drilling line drives that carry all the way to the right field fence. The frightening part is that Guerrero’s power might end up being his second-best tool. He combines ferocious bat speed with great bat control, excellent strike-zone discipline and hitting acumen far beyond his years, making him one of the game’s brightest young hitters. (BB)

He could probably advance a level per week at this rate

We'll have him in the super-secret double-majors by Mid-May!

The real question is how will the Jays win a championship in the Vlad Guerrero era.

 

The REAL question is how will they not will all of them?

TJ Zeuch with a good outing: 6IP 5H 2BB 8K 0ER

 

Samad Taylor continues to hit: 3-5 with a stolen base. Could end up being a gem from the Joe Smith trade.

 

So does Lourdes Gurriel Jr: 2-4 for the night.
