Right now
voice-verified
The evidence is pointing to this is a lost season for Vladdy.
voice-verified
Don't expect Vladdy to show up in the last handful of games and deliver star level performance.
voice-verified
I'm not saying it's impossible, but right now I think you just kind of run that to the end.
voice-verified
What's Vladdy gonna give you?
voice-verified
You kinda hope, oh, he'll give you some occasional x-rays power, he'll get on base at a decent rate because he walks and he doesn't strike out too much, even though he did today.
voice-verified
And you think of him kind of as a complimentary piece.
voice-verified
And you know, right now Alejandro Kirk is your star.
voice-verified
Brett Bateman is your star.
voice-verified
Like those are the guys who are going off.
voice-verified
You hope that Vladdy can contribute, but if we're gonna every day litigate, is Vladdy gonna get back to being a
voice-verified
star in the next couple of weeks, it just feels like that's unlikely to happen.
voice-verified
It's really difficult to do.
voice-verified
And part of what's interesting about that flexible role, swing man role, things like that, is that it's usually not given to the guys who are supremely talented.
voice-verified
Like Ross Spr Stripling was a really good pitcher, but it's not like he was throwing, you know, ninety-eight, you know, ninety-nine, like Miles can get up to sometimes.
voice-verified
When guys show the level of potential that Miles has shown, they normally get given a
voice-verified
role because there's an expectation that they can truly excel in one role, so m why mess with that success?
voice-verified
the case just for the Blue Jays is that they've had this variety of needs over the course of the season, whether it's been the chaos in the rotation, whether it's been the decision to trade away Jeff Hoffman, they've needed to move him around.
voice-verified
I think in a perfect world longer term they actually are probably gonna want to choose one path for him and let him run with it, in part because there's potential for him to be very good, whether it is as the high leverage reliever, whether it is as you know the middle of the rotation starter, maybe even better if he's able to build it up over a long period of time.
voice-verified
So I understand that comparison today.
