I have also heard this mentioned before as well. Impact bat, high career OPS…. but the fact that he was a lead off hitter who has never stolen more than 16 bases in one season, I never quite understood why they signed him to 6. I wish it was more like 4.
The Houston Astros just released Abreu because they simply couldn’t afford to keep playing him. Would’ve been nice if the Blue Jays could do the same thing with Springer.

Jays are not only a pretender they now are a bad team getting worse and Springer is a very bad hitter
whose only value is a decent defensive player and same thing with Keirmaier and Captain Kirk
so maybe Jays could trade them for a low draft pick if they pick up their salary

I think you have to force a team at the trade deadline who wants Bo and package him. Lots of team would still be interested in Bo and you force them to take Springer with him to eat the salary. Same thing with Vlad, but who the fuck would want Vlad at this point? Turning out to be one of the biggest bust in baseball history.

In this section, I’ve tried to be supportive of Guerrero. His talent is undeniable. I’ve always thought to myself, “well maybe if he had some protection in the order….. etc. etc.” or the fact that he’s the same age Aaron Judge was when Judge broke into the MLB. However I honestly have to say, the guy hit his eighth home-run I think it was yesterday or the day before… and he is still doing that goddamn ridiculous ritual when he crosses the bases. The jogging, the skip step between second and third, his sssshhh to the third base coach….. his slapping together of his wrists before he crosses the plate….. like dude, is there not somebody there to tell you how absolutely ridiculous you look? I mean come on buddy your team is getting murdered and losing you hit a solo home run, and you’re still trailing by 500 runs….. you’ve just hit your eighth homer of the season, trailing the league leader by 20 in the third week of June…… like what kind of a moron would be doing these rituals like you’re the most feared hitter on the planet? Do you not realize how ridiculous you look???
Evident in the way he keeps chasing that slider 3 feet off the plate, and his buffoon like home run ritual, I’m starting to think that maybe he’s just a very ignorant, arrogant, and uncoachable spoiled brat.

Not only does he only have 8 HR's, how often are his HR's in high leverage situations? Same thing with his hits. Batting .280 hitting singles when nobody is on base or in a blow out is useless.
When was the last time you recall him with major clutch hit? Like a real game changer?

It’s pretty sad. Pitchers keep pitching him the exact same way, and he keeps making everybody look like Cy Young. This reminds me of Mike Tyson…. never really progressed his skill or learning after the departure of Kevin Rooney, and could not adjust to boxers squaring him up and pushing him back.. Sometimes I think, Vlad simply hit a brick wall with his learning ability at the plate and cannot adjust to the way they are pitching him. Good old bump on a log Don Mattingly must really suck as an “offensive coordinator.”
When I see Vladimir and his ego rounding the bases after his eighth homer of the year, or the way he’s socializing with the stars of the league at first base, I really tell myself now he must be uncoachable. I can’t even believe he’s eligible to go to the All-Star game….. mind-boggling. I can’t believe he’s not embarrassed to do the things he does.

…. Try looking up Ross Atkins on Google or YouTube and it’s nothing but negativity and negative press. Everyone is either second-guessing him or wants him gone. I wonder what Mark and Ross talk about during Sunday family dinner.

Clomiphene as well as being a fertility drug for both men and women can also boost testosterone levels.
I'd be interested in seeing what his free testosterone level is.
He most likely wouldn't consent to that though.
Looking at his minor league stats. He's got consistent power numbers . So I don't see a big bump
