I think this may take awhile anyway. I heard an interview with him today and it sounds like the surgery really threw him for a loop.
Verc you warming up to J Blaze yet?
Not that I mentioned Vlad, how about these numbers for 11 years?
35 homers, 112 RBI's, .325/.392/.581, 35 doubles, 149 OPS+
I'm starting to wonder if maybe he's put his PED-fueled power behind him and has accepted the fact that he's a slap and tickle hitter. He's so fast that all he needs to do is make consistent contact. Maybe the reason he sucked so badly for his first 1000 plate appearances was that he was trying to prove that that power he showed in the minors wasn't a fluke? I don't know yet. Sample size is still pretty small.
