Vladdy

APR 116wrc+
MAY 143wrc+
JUN 150wrc+
JUL 165wrc+
AUG 139wrc+ - only 5gms played in august

Post-AS: 202wrc+

Terrible April (for him at least), but he's well on his way to finishing as a 150-160wrc+ Top-5-ish hitter in baseball again i think.
 
Joe Carter hit the biggest playoff home-run in baseball and Blue Jay history....and even pro-rated, he did it for a helluva lot less than half a billion.

Vladdy cannot live up to this contract.
 
If the measuring stick for earning the contract is just hitting a WS winning HR, then why can't Vladdy do that if we make it there?
 
Yeah as of now, Vladdy will rank 9th in AAV in year 1 of his contract next year.

But there will likely be other big signings to push him out of the top 10 by the start of the year.

By the time he's 30 he should be well down the list.
 
I think BBW was joking but Vladdy already has more WAR at 26 then Carter did his entire career.

He’s just behind Alomar in WAR/162 at the same age (5.1-4.4)
 
Time will tell if he ages like Salvador Perez or Freeman

he's got about as low-risk a profile as can be. just such an absolutely fundamentally solid hitter with no weaknesses. should age just fine. Even less risk than a guy like Freeman, who had much bigger swing and miss issues and much less raw power.

Sal Perez' value was only ever about his catcher defense.

14 years was 5 years too many
 
Of what's looking like the likeliest "healthy" group of position players this year, only Gimenez is producing at lower than a 3war/650pa pace, and even he's barely under at 2.7.

Heineman 11.5
Loperfido 6.6
Kirk 6.1
Varsho 5.6
Vladdy 4.2
Springer 4.0
Barger 3.9
Bichette 3.7
Clement 3.5
Schneider 3.5
Straw 3.2
Lukes 3.1
Gimenez 2.7

other candidates for the roster would be France 0.8 and Santander -2.8.
