Low and Away 1,595 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 Just now, jb_power said: any of you Vlad Jr owners recall Alex Bregman's first 2 weeks in the majors? Wasn't it closer to a month? Seemed like he went 0 for the summer. The manager had faith in him and I started adding to every keeper/dynasty I was in just because of that. Never been sorry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kid has an immense amount of pressure on him and pitchers have no reason to give him anything to hit batting 5th in that lineup. Maybe Montoya can at least try to jump start him by putting him in the two spot. The kid keeps hitting what the pitchers want him to hit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Montoya is a nightmare! 2nd time in this series Tellez protects him with a LEFTY on the mound. Try anything.... I’d rather he bat 9th than have Tellez hit behind him with a lefty on the mound. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vlad Jr will figure it out but needs time. He also had spring training taken away from him with that oblique injury. He just needs the hype to blow over. Pitchers right now dont want to be made famous by him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
exaulz 1,145 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 This is simply not acceptable, even in a small sample size. I don’t care what excuse people want to make. This should not be happening to player that was supposed to possess all the qualities (elite batting eye, swing, contact and barrel ability) that should lead to immediate success, as projected by nearly everyone. Just 2 weeks ago the genius on the RW podcast predicted 40 HRs THIS SEASON. Yeah, that’s definitely not happening. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

largeshot 57 Posted May 6, 2019 Share Posted May 6, 2019 If you own this guy, you went out of your way to draft a rookie with zero big league experience who you also knew would likely miss the entire first month of the season. Now because he hasn't instantly become Willie Mays 2.0 after two weeks you're panicking? I don't get it but hey, if his performance is really so 'unacceptable' go ahead and drop him. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
