h2r09 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 He asked for his release from AAA and wants a major league job. Would you go after him as an outfield bat for the time being? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 No thanks, there's a reason he was a DH all of last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Beinfest Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Yeah... there's nowhere for Vlad to play in the NL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokersgoon Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 I know it's not the right place for this but how about Jeff francoeur anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 When I found out a couple of weeks back that Toronto picked Vlad up, I was initially pissed that the Marlins didn't get him for much needed outfield depth. Then I found out that he pretty much no longer plays the field anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SongInTheAir Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Have you seen LoMo and Kearns play the outfield? Gold Glovers compared to what Vlad can do now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ren83 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 anything is better than Coghlan at this point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enterthemadness Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 anything is better than Coghlan at this point I'm under the assumpation that he can play LF/CF, just sucks at hitting now a days. Yeah, might as well get Vlad. Stick him at 1B. Platoon with Gaby. I'm serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlin2266 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I start a week in LF; otherwise bench bat. Send down a bullpen arm - we need offense in the wost way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfmblows Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Vladimir Guerrero has played a grand total of 20 games in the field the last 3 yrs. Other than a bat off the bench, what purpose would he serve for this team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfmblows Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 This team is already a comedy of errors at times, put him in LF and we'll lead the league. Picturing him try to cover those big gaps should make u think twice about your question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marlinscuba Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Anything is better than Gaby at this point. I say get him to AAA and making him play 1B to see if he can handle the job... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catchoftheday Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I wouldnt mind Vladdy as a Lenny Harris PH off the bench that never plays the field. It would give Dobbs extended play time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlins Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Wow. What happened to Vlad? According to FOX Sports' Jon Paul Morosi, Vladimir Guerrero is not close to signing with any club. Guerrero was probably better off practicing patience in the Blue Jays' minor league system, where he was at least drawing regular playing time. But he asked for and was granted his release after just eight games, and is now struggling to attract fresh offers. The 37-year-old was 10-for-33 (.303) at Triple-A Las Vegas.

Erick Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 He's absolutely useless now. He can't play the field and teams seem to no longer care much for the traditional DH anymore as it limits flexibility on the roster. Especially DH's who don't hit the ball that well anymore which is the case with Vlad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enterthemadness Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 You all should be ashamed. Dissing a HOF... Wait, Vlad is gonna be in the HOF..or is he outside looking in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlins Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 You all should be ashamed. Dissing a HOF... Wait, Vlad is gonna be in the HOF..or is he outside looking in? Hes led the league in intentional walks 5 times and is the active career leader. Last season was his first season in which hes hit below .300 with over 100 games played, and a .290 BA isn't bad. But most importantly, he really means a lot to the Expos and would be a great representative for them. He's their franchise leader in BA, SLG, HR and single season leader in BA, SLG, H, total bases, RBI's, times on base, etc. Also a 9 time All-Star. I'd say he's gonna be a HOF'er.
