And Vlad is such a unique, special power hitter who I think has way more in the tank.
And I think we're seeing that right now.
And this should be a guy that I think, if he doesn't win an MVP in his career, I wouldn't say it's a failure, but it's a failure.
The guy is that talented.
He could hit 330 with 40.
easy.
I think he can do maybe not what Judge is doing, but I think he has the ceiling, a higher ceiling than anybody in the league because the dude doesn't strike out.
The dude puts the ball in play.
And he can slug.
And so you're looking at that, I'm like,
I don't think maybe Ohtani, but as a complete hitter, I don't think there's anybody on either side that's better than Vlad.
I don't.
The complete package, yes, you might pick Ohtani in a situation to be up over Vlad.
But when you're looking at the complete hitter, the guy who has minimum holes in his swing where you can go to certain spots and it does not matter, he's going to put it in play, it's Vlad.
It depends on the situation where it's like, okay, where are the runners?
If it's like tie ball game or you're down by one, base is empty,
That might be a little bit different.
I might go with Otani because he has the ability to hit the ball.
No, he wasn't good.
He wasn't good.
