As an owner of both ? Glad Pearson probably won't face Vlad in the bigs! Vlad is special. Pujols/Miggy type upside with hopefully the year to year dominant consistency they provided.

It sounds dumb to have him up for less next year unless the blue jays are competing and they think he can help. Link to post Share on other sites
TheDarkside85 3 Posted March 24, 2018 Share Posted March 24, 2018 I figured this year was an extreme stretch, but the fact he's still in there spring training made me wonder if mid season was an outside chance. Link to post Share on other sites
Philoumenos 363 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 It's such an outside chance that he makes it, but I couldn't help stashing him in my last "NA" spot for the last pick of my draft. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
DerrickHenrysCleats 6,220 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Vladdy Daddy will pay off big time in the long run. Buy in dynasty at all costs. For reference i gave buxton for vladdy daddy and tatis jr. Link to post Share on other sites
TheDarkside85 3 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I believe my league rules are alot differant then how alot of your leagues go. It is dynasty, but would like some comparisons. Is there a website, or a rundown out there? Link to post Share on other sites

Golden Spikes 2,051 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 the real problem that I see, and its just nitpicking is that Vladdy Jr is already built like the 33 year old version of SR. He better keep his weight in check 2 Link to post Share on other sites
mjb03003 1,974 Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 I'm in a keeper league (keep 8 max) with only 3 bench spots and no NA slots, and I'm committed to stashing and holding Vlad Jr. all season. Crazy or crafty? Link to post Share on other sites

Especially in a daily league I agree with you. However (and not to derail the thread), Vlad Jr. will also be a huge trade chip later in the season when it becomes clear who is a contender and who needs to focus on the future. So while I may be faced with a roster crunch at different points in the season, I think the long term value is well worth it, whether it's as a member of my foundation for years to come or as a trade chip that can be flipped for a stud at the trade deadline. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Crazy or crafty? If things continue to progress the way they have been I will be grabbing him once he hits AAA in my 3 original round keeper league with 5 bench spots and no NA if that helps. I got mocked by my league mates for doing something similar with Acuna last year but now I got to keep him for a last round pick and will likely have him at below market value for 3-4 years. It hurts your team a bit this year but the payoff, either as trade bait prior to the deadline or as a long term keeper prospect, is worth it in the truly elite hitting prospects, and Vlad certainly fits into that category. Kinda getting into bench coach/fantasy strategy territory here, but that's just my 2 cents. You could easily argue against that strategy. Link to post Share on other sites

With additions of Alford Teoscar Vlad and Bichette this year they could go from a subpar line up to formiddable. Edited April 6, 2018 by Dirtywater97 Link to post Share on other sites
