Where Does Vlad Jr. Start the Season?

yanksfan0134 · 02-22-2018, 10:18 AM

I know it’s early yet, but just curious where you guys think he starts off. I have an opportunity to watch him play if he starts in AA and was just wondering if that’s a realistic place for him to start the season.

HOF based upon his prices

The .944 OPS is nice at High-A, but he's 19 in a few days and has just 48 games there. I'd bet they start him at A+ Dunedin again, and he moves up to Double-A midseason. If he continues to rake, he'll be able to make the jump from Double-A to the bigs.

The Blue Jays aren't really in a rush given their competitive arc right now.

Probably a 50 game suspension for PED use.

I was going to say that as soon as I opened the thread!

It would seem to me to be a waste to go back to A+ for him. I would start him in AA. The only reason to start him in A+ for a few games is the weather gets better in Buffalo.

Dunedin. He'll probably get promoted to New Hampshire as early as May or as late as the All Star break.

I think this is right.

I hope both Vlad and Bo hit their way to AA by May.

I'm wondering how many Vlad Jr threads there will be before the season starts at this rate.

The way they both played at Dunedin last year, I'd expect them both in AA to start the season. You can never be sure in these situations, but I don't see the reasoning in sending them back to Hi A.

I'm definitely hoping he and Bo are in NH as long as possible

Planning on seeing more than a few games while they are here.

I'm hoping he gets demoted to Vancouver so I can watch him play!
