Just seeing the new Vlads stats vs last years 99 Vlad. He's two years older, worse power v R, and slower. Come on now
New 99 Vlad is a L
SDS
He may be a bit worse but really is both that bad. If you don’t like him that much you could always pick Eddie
SDS
An SS or Prime would’ve been better but still a very good card. 73 speed with a 98 arm with those hitting stats is a great RF. That Eddie looks very good too with gold fielding. I value corner infield defense more than most though.
SDS
Dude looks pretty sick, not everyone is a diamond switch hitting diamond fielding speedster with 99 arm strength and a 5”6 strike zone.
SDS
I hit well with the 94 version and got excited to see his 99 was being released. I'm not excited anymore. Wanted more power from the right side. Still a good card but is it an upgrade over eric davis?

???? Y’all got me f’d up. He has 100+ contact and 89 power vs Righties. That is perfectly fine, not to mention he probably has the best stats vs Lefties in the game. He also has silver defense with a cannon. Y’all just complain you can’t get a Mickey mantle for 50k

Killebrew is a better card and his defense is buns. 70 defense in the outfield is a deal breaker for me, especially with those vs righty stats. I had mantle a month into the game so so not worried about that. Booger has RF locked down and I'm not moving vlad to LF where his defense is even more buns. He's a bench bat at best. Lefty killer.

What cracks me up about this card is the vision they gave him. He was never the type of player that had an eye like that. Looks like a fun card though.

You're confusing vision with discipline.
He had incredible vision and rarely struck out.
He didn't walk much because he could hit and would try to hit any pitch
