Watching him swing, he still shows glimpses of his old self, and with some time off during the winter, he could have a small bounce back at the plate. Still won't be able to move very well, but the bat speed will be there. It does seem like he has missed more time, but I think he’s played hurt quite a bit throughout his Angels career.

Vlad seems to be genuinely breaking down though. That's just the way it looks when I watch him swing and run (if that can be called running). In my league Vlad would still qualify as OF, but I'd rather take a flyer on Heyward, Reimold, or even Franklin Gutierrez for their upside. How much more than .300/20hr/90rbi can you really hope for from Vlad in the future? I'll admit i was surprised he's logged so many at bats in his 30's. For some reaosn I thought he's missed more time the last few years. Some veterans come back from a dropoff and put up good numbers in their mid-30s. Vlad seems to be genuinely breaking down though.
