I feel like everyone is ready to induct Vlad Jr in the hall of fame before he's had a single major league AB.

 

He has to prove himself like everybody else.

im not in that group., i think its as likely he ends up more similar to Mo Vaugn or Pedro Sandoval than his dad is he doesnt put in some physique work.   Hes a DH waiting to happen more than he is a long term solution at 3B.  
Cant argue the potential in the bat, but the boy needs to mix in a couple salads from time to time or his viability in the field wont last. 

Let the kids play.

Ya I wasn’t suggesting that and I’m definitely not in that group.  I actually think there’s some legitimate questions about how he projects in the field and on the base paths.  The bat seems 80 grade legit tho.  Anyway, my only point was whether you think he’s the reincarnation of Hank Aaron or not.  He was definitely a major league player last year and he could have helped his mediocre club.  Therefore he should have been up and playing with the Jays.

we already did as i recall with Trout.
Everyone does to avoid service time issues, were now basically past most of that for the year so, yeah, bring up the kids   

The Angels didn’t with Ohtani. 

And the Angels called Trout up from AA when he was 19.

Remember after a great Angels career when we sent his dad packing after 2009. He signed a one year deal with Texas for $5.5M and slashed .300 / .345 / .496 / .841 with 29hrs and 115rbi’s

Fun times 

I think it was a 2 year deal. That was the hiccup with the angels
