does vlad look like he

a) put on some weight?

b) is hobbling when he runs?

i'm not worried that much, i mean, who saw that shoelace golfball HR he hit off of pineiro (vlad pwnz pineiro, btw)

vlad has always had a funky stride, so it doesnt surprise me, but it looks like that back brace is getting to him.

yeah

he looks a little bit like he is running very upright, very cumbersome.

even his swing looks unusual...but it gets the results, and thats all that matters ;-D

He's starting to look a lot like Manny Ramirez (in the way he carries himself on the field).

yeah I was watching him score from first the other night on that ESPN game, and I was thinking the same thing. Gotta be the back brace.

could be he has a bad back & knees ???/

I think hes just tired. His knees look shaky to me as well.

He does everything pretty unorthodox, but it works for him. ;-D

Oh and don't expect him to steal many bases this year. I doubt the Angels want to risk anything. I'd be happy with 15 SBs if I was a Vlad owner.

Maybe he's HOBBLING because he's INJURED.

Vladimir Guerrero, who has been the DH the last two games, could continue in that role for a few more contests.
Tim Salmon has swapped spots with Vlad, going to right field. Guerrero is getting over a sore knee, which would heal quickly if they gave him a couple days off, but obviously the Angels would like to keep his bat in the lineup.

i see vlad with 5 or less steals this year, mainly because of garret anderson.

i think garret is going to hit .330 this year, something like .330/35/130, so vlad's not going to worry about running the bases.

vlad's going to be huge this year, i'm thinking .345/40/120
