I don't think anyone can say true or false to what I posted - it is only speculation. I don't trust the 'company line' when they 'assure us' that Vlad works hard and blah blah blah. I think we all want him to succeed but so far he is just not looking very good. The one thing he has on his side is his young age.

I mean on a whole its pretty much impossible to tell, but he did lose weight pre ST and during the season. He has put effort into it. He is only 21 so the fact he has made an effort i think bodes well. Next season he could be a monster if he can do it again

Kirk has looked really good at C tonight

 

He also actually looks lethal with a bat in his hand unlike our other options.

Yeah he just needs to stay on top of it. Some people are just naturally prone to be fat and he seems like one of them (like a Pablo Sandoval). I don't expect a 'slim and trim' Vlad, just the guy you mentioned that showed up in Feb. this year.

I agree with the idea that he has gotten by on his pure talent until getting to MLB, and now that it is actually 'hard', he doesn't have the work ethic (especially in physical conditioning, but also in mental toughness and baseball IQ).

 

That’s a bit harsh.

Id also add, if Vlad hasn't hit the wall so much for singles, just a minute change in launch angle he would have like 7 more HRs than he does. He has been good for a 21 year old who is trying to change launch angle during the season, while learning a new position and being pitched very carefully compared to others
