He's just got a high profile right now compared to everyone else. I wouldn't really read into it at the moment, I don't even think he's top 5 of all prep players.
Who is writing him off?
Running and flipping tires is great but not going to be very effective if he goes home at just downs Mama's cooking. He needs a traditional work out targeting muscle groups that will actually help him improve at his position and he definitely going to need to improve his nutrition if he hopes to keep the weight off.
I think it's pretty crazy that a pro athlete with all the very best facilities and experts available to them can fail so hard at fitness. Honestly it's a failure just as much to the organization as it is to Vlad.
I like this but then we probably just get Drury at 3B for 2020.
I want to see significant improvement to the roster this offseason not just moving s*** pieces from one spot to another.
Thoughts on Tellez so far? I think I've seen enough to know for sure he shouldn't be given the starting 1B job next season and not even sure he deserves a 40 man roster spot.
We can easily contend next season. I'm not sure how this front office hasn't clued in yet.
Just need Cole and 4 more starting pitchers, 3 new good OFers, a starting 3B and a less fat 1B.
This should be an easy fix in the offseason.
