2655010, I've been trying not to get too excited about him

At the end of the day, Vlad is probably my favorite player of all-time. The notion of his namesake being a superstar and putting the family in the Bonds, Griffey, Alou echelon of generational baseball talents is wild. I don't want to set myself up to be disappointment, but damn. He is really raking and showing a kind of offensive maturity that he must have inherited from his mother.

From what I've seen he doesn't really fit at 3B and is more likely to end up at 1B, but the Blue Jays might just hand him the keys next year at 21.
