He’s not a kid. He’s a 20 year old adult who is in his fourth year of professional baseball and got $3.9 million to sign in 2015.

So we're not doubting the poster's penchant for spending an unnatural about of time and energy talking about his body. At least we agree on that.

Isn’t that the whole point of a forum? To have discussions about whatever topic is at hand? I’m a lifetime baseball fanatic. Vlad is supposed to be one of the best hitting prospects to ever live. Topics related to him are high prices, his size, and his lack of production so far. I say it as I see it. And also, fat jokes are fun.

And you spend an unnatural amount of time defending the comments made about the guys chunkiness because of your vested interest in him and his team. You seem to get personally offended by everyone’s comments about someone you don’t even know.

The point of a forum is to have a discussion, not repeat the same post over and over. Maybe your mind doesn't work that way...?

Yes, I have an interest in the team and the player. I'm not offended, though. Just amused that your only comment over and over is about his weight. Seeing your posts in other threads, it doesn't seem like you have anything to offer anywhere else either and it seems like other people feel the same way.

You remind me of this fella I knew back in school named Andrei. Andrei would tell a good joke once in 20 tries and when he found the one joke that made everyone laugh, he'd tell that one joke for the next week to different groups of people and get a laugh and make himself feel accomplished. Maybe try to be a little less like Andrei.

If Vlad keeps this up people won't even bother trimming his cards and selling them through PWCC.

This post will age well.

Most 20 year old baseball peers are in advanced A ball. I know I’ve stated it before itt, but it should be repeated.

Vlad will be fine.

Pitchers in majors have way more ball control than minor league pitchers - This is his issue. He was a beast in minors because those pitchers are still honing their craft.

He will need time to adjust to big boy pitchers. If he does not - bye bye all that hype.

No one knows this for certain or not. You can't bash the bashers and then post something like that when it is unknown.

Tony Gwynn was fat. Babe Ruth was fat. Proof fat people can mash.

Tony Gwynn was a PG in college and could have played in the NBA, he got fat as he got older. Babe Ruth was fat.

big Daddy - Cecil Fielder.
But his MLB career was essentially 7 years long.

Game is different now. Every sport has fitness including bowling and curling.
The fit dudes rise to the top, the fat dudes get swept aside.
Guerrero must have crazy talent to make it to the bigs as a fat dude.

Lol. The bashers are basing this off of what, 2-3 weeks?

We all know if vlad came in batting .350 with 4 dingers, you would be singing his praises and hyping his prices instead of telling people to calm down.

Yes, the bashers are basing it off of 2 weeks.

You are basing your "he will be fine" off of hope.

Side notes....Nick Senzel has 3 homeruns in 5 major league games and nobody cares. Imagine if vlad had done that? But he didn’t. He’s been awful. Prices are dropping and people are scuuurrrred
